I don't want to get mawkish about this, but Walter Cronkite was always a hero of mine. Nothing I could write would pay higher tribute to the man than one of his own quotes.
In 2000 interview, Russ Mitchell asked Cronkite what he was most proud of in his 50 years at CBS.
His reply: "Oh I think probably holding onto my integrity and perhaps passing on a little of that feeling about journalistic standards on to others that came with me and after me."
