when journalism had poise
1916 - 2009
before scrolling headlines, a 24-hour news cycle and sensational ramblings of nothingness . . .
there was walter cronkite
he had a way with words, a backbone
one could say his unwavering eloquence, integrity and humanity saved lives
he was our dinner guest every week night when I was growing up
yesterday was his funeral
andy rooney was too emotional to complete his eulogy
to conclude, a clip for you
