" And that's the way it is."Warmth and respect flood America's emotions with news of Walter Cronkite's passing yesterday.
For decades he held the unsought title of "The most trusted man in America."
CBS evening news anchor for many years, Uncle Walter's integrity, humility, and affable manner endeared him to a nation. He set a high journalism standard, pretty much forgotten today - except for a few media such as The Chrsitian Science Monitor.
(OK, I'm prejudiced -- but the Monitor is one of the few remaining media that speaks with integrity and caring.)
Cronkite is a legend, an icon, a father-figure. He will be missed.
