http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8157052.stm

The man who told America that JFK had died and was there to experience with the world the first manned landing on the moon,Watergate has gone.

Quote:
The former US TV news anchor Walter Cronkite, known to millions as "the most trusted man in America", has died at the age of 92.
Quote:
Mr Cronkite's opinion was so trusted by the US public that when he criticised the war in Vietnam, President Lyndon B Johnson is reported to have said: "If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost middle America."
Another legend passes on..:(

He was noticeably fighting back the tears when he announced the death of JFK.
