Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. At the age of 80 Cronkite has written his life story--the personal and professional odyssey of the original "anchorman," for whom that very word was coined. As a witness to the crucial events of this century--first for the Houston Press, then for the United Press wire service and finally for CBS in the fledgling medium of television--Cronkite has set a standard for integrity, objectivity, enthusiasm, compassion and insight that would be difficult to surpass. He is an overflowing vessel of history, a direct link with the people and places that have defined our nation and established its unique role in the world. But Walter Cronkite is also the man who loved to drive race cars "for the same reason that others do exhibitionist, dangerous stunts. It sets us apart from the average man; puts us, in our own minds,on a level just a little above the chap who doesn't race." He is also the man whose "softheartedness knows no rational bounds," and who always has had "great problems at the theater, tearing up at the slightest offense against animals and people, notably the very old or the very young." He is the man who could barely refrain from spitting on the defendants at the Nuremberg Trials, and who could barely announce President Kennedy's assassination over the air for the sobs in his throat. With 36 photographs. Rough deckled page edges. Seller Inventory # 728
