GT: How do you want to be remembered?

WC: [laughs] Oh, as a fellow who did his best. I'd like to be remembered as a person who tried to give the news as impartially, as factually, as possible, and succeeded most of the time.

GT: Given that people think of you as America's most trusted man, I think you've accomplished that!

The celebration of the first moon landing is coming up-- just found this sorta touching at this time. He was referred to as the 8th astronaut. :smile:

"During the first moon landing in 1969, Mr. Cronkite was on the air for 27 of the 30 hours that Apollo 11 took to complete its mission.”
