Walter Cronkite, dead at 92. If you’re my age or even older, who can forget him with Apollo 11, or other Apollo launches?
Or given that his 1968 visit to Vietnam, and subsequent commentary, was a factor in LBJ not running for re-election, how fitting that he outlived Robert McNamara by a week?
And… that’s the way Uncle Walter was.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
