Reporter's Life - Hardcover

Walter Cronkite, known as the most trusted man in America, has written his life story -- the personal & professional odyssey of the original ''anchorman,'' for whom that very word was coined. Cronkite has set a standard for integrity, objectivity, enthusiasm, compassion & insight. He is a direct link with the people & places that have defined our nation & established its unique role in the world. But Cronkite is also the man who loved to drive race cars, as well as the man whose ''softheartedness knows no rational bounds,'' Cronkite helped launch the juggernaut of TV, & tried to imbue it with his own respect for quality & ethics. Americans know that for decades they have had the privilege of getting their news from a gentleman of the highest caliber. Photos.
