My definitive PJ moment was in the mid-90s when he announced in one newscast that "there was no evidence in the newly-opened Soviet archives that Alger Hiss was a KGB agent." Period.
Alger Hiss was not, of course, a KGB agent. He was a GRU agent. But there wasn't one word to this effect from PJ.
That's all anyone ever needed to know about Peter Jennings.

Or, he may have missed the deadline......or somethin'.
But he had style.
