"...part schoolboy chronicle of a life spent in zealous, single-minded pursuit of breaking news, part state memoir of a journalistic bigfoot." "Cronkite bears out our trust in him as he bears wise witness to our collective adventures of the past half-century; he endears himself anew when he good-humoredly shares his own."
