Breaking News 8:09 PM ET:
Broadcast Journalist Walter Cronkite Has Died at Age 92, According to His Family


Walter Cronkite was the first television newsman I remember, the first of the modern "anchors," and by all accounts a true gentleman who did not flinch from telling it as he saw it -- something that seems to have been completely lost in today's news media.

Goodnight, sir. I lift my glass.

He was an amazing man.

I cried when I heard the news. He was the anchorman of my youth. :-(
