RIP Walter Cronkite

I liked and admired him. Sensible, sensitive and reliable. My grandparents watched his news broadcast. My father thought he was too liberal. I remember his coverage of the moon landing. I was 7. His announcing that Neil Armstrong, "a 38 year old American" was the first person on the moon gave me chills I viscerally still recall.
