From Wikipedia:
Walter Leland Cronkite, Jr. (November 4, 1916 – July 17, 2009) was an
American broadcast journalist, best known as anchorman for the CBS Evening News
for 19 years (1962–1981). During the heyday of CBS News in the 1960s and 1970s,
he was often cited as "the most trusted man in America" after being so named in
an opinion poll. He reported many events from 1937 to 1981, including bombings
in World War II; the Nuremberg trials; combat in the Vietnam War; Watergate; the
Iran Hostage Crisis; and the murders of President John F. Kennedy, civil rights
pioneer Martin Luther King, Jr., and Beatles musician John Lennon. He was also
known for his extensive coverage of the U.S. space program, from Project Mercury
to the Moon landings to the Space Shuttle. He was the only non-NASA recipient of
a Moon-rock award. Cronkite is well known for his departing catchphrase "And
that's the way it is," followed by the date on which the appearance aired.
And that's the way it is......
