When there was Big news, Peter Jennings was the only one of the Three that I ever watched.

When Challenger exploded, our net's guy, Rather, was a bowl of Jello.
Jennings was cool and in control. The message was very Chronkieian:
"The news is not good, but you need to know it.
We don't know everything yet, in fact we don't know much, and we won't pretend that we do. When we know it; you'll know it.
The news is not likely to get better, but you can handle it.... because there is no other choice."
In a way, 9/11 was almost the hidden sign of a Jennings > Gibson succession.
PS, Charlie can handle it too.
