Elmo Lewis 6 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 A bastion of that unique beast that is televised journalism. Few like him had his grasp on the reality of news broadcasting.

Hitch 55 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I heard this news while on vacation. A great pity he didn't live to see the 40th anniversary of the lunar moon landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hlao-roo 388 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 And that's the way it is.Apparently his original sign-off was somewhat less catchy:http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/ne...t_id=1003995329"The first night up, he ended the show by saying, I'm paraphrasing, 'That's the news. Be sure to check your local newspapers tomorrow to get all the details on the headlines we are delivering to you,'" Sanford "Sandy" Socolow, who worked at CBS News for 32 years, told CNN.
