Walter Cronkite died this evening at the age of 92. He was the most trusted man in America for year. He was the CBS news anchor from 1962 until 1981. It was Cronkite who broke into a live broadcast of As The World Turns with the news bulletins from Dallas that Kennedy had been shot.
"Cronkite was the broadcaster to whom the title “anchorman” was first applied, and he came so identified in that role that eventually his own name became the term for the job in other languages (Swedish anchors are known as Kronkiters; in Holland, they are Cronkiters)."

Cronkite was the only anchorman my grandfather would watch.
Godspeed, Mr. Cronkite. Thanks for keeping us informed.
