...he was the voice of one of the most indelible memories of my life, and he almost lived to see the 40th anniversary of it.
He set the standard of how to report the news in a new medium, and no one has since reached that standard, and somehow, I doubt anyone ever will.

He told the world that JFK was dead. He told the world about Martin and Bobby, too. I saw the clip this morning of the Apollo 11 landing. That child-like look on his face was priceless.
