Walter Cronkite would have been 95 today.
I grew my mustache when I was nineteen in order to look older. I never shaved it off even though it overran its usefulness many, many years ago. Once you get started in television, people associate you with your physical appearance - and that includes the mustache. So I can't shave it off now. If I did, I'd have to answer too much mail.
Our job is only to hold up the mirror - to tell and show the public what has happened.
For how many thousands of years now have we humans been what we insist on calling "civilized?" And yet, in total contradiction, we also persist in the savage belief that we must occasionally, at least, settle our arguments by killing one another.
America's health care system is neither healthy, caring, nor a system.
The profession of journalism ought to be about telling people what they need to know, not what they want to know.
And that's the way it is.
-- All quotes from Walter Cronkite.
