Topic: Walter Cronkite

Walter Cronkite television personality and newsman
Walter Cronkite bristles every time he is accused of being as much a television personality as a newsman. Yet fans hound Cronkite for autographs while the politician cools his heels. This year he will cover his 12th presidential election along with the two political conventions, and plans to report what he hears and sees with all the impartiality he can muster.
