“The Twentieth Century, “ old newsreels of everything from Ataturk to Mao was a staple on Sunday evenings at our house from the earliest days I can remember (followed by “Man and the Challenge” at least some of those years.) His visit with Eisenhower to the graves at Normandy on the twentieth anniversary was great television.

I remember many of those, and I have a vivid memory of him sitting in an Army Jeep with Eisenhower looking out over Normandy Beach talking about the invasion. Too bad he went liberal after all of that.

For some reason, I always preferred Huntley and Brinkley, young as I was. What a big deal it was when the evening news broadcasts went from 15 minutes to the full half hour.
