RIP, Walter Cronkite

[BB73]

CBS news is reporting that Walter Cronkite, their former long-time anchor (1962-1981), has passed away at age 92.

RIP to a man who told the news to millions for decades, in a classy way that very few have been able to match.

"And that's the way it is ..."

The world becomes less wonderful with his passing.

Ditto to all, The world is less without him.

I'm sure the Viet Cong send their condolences.

As do thousands of Americans who were spared dying in a third world country.
