Walter Cronkite, the man who narrated history as it was happening, has died, age 92.
Walter Cronkite, the CBS anchorman known as both "Uncle Walter" for his easygoing, measured delivery and "the most trusted man in America" for his rectitude and gravitas, has died. Cronkite was 92 years old. At the height of his influence, Cronkite's judgment was believed to be so important it could affect even presidents.
He had been in ill health for some time, and 92 years is a good long run. I grew up listening to him report the news and his show YOU ARE THERE.
