WALTER SIGNED-OFF FOR THE LAST TIME

CBS EVENING NEWS: 1981 Clip (Walter Cronkite's Final Broadcast) - YouTube


On March 6, 1981, CBS Evening News anchor Walter
Cronkite signs off
with his trademark valediction,
"And that’s the way it is," for the final time.

Over the previous 19 years, Cronkite had established
himself not only as the nation’s leading newsman but
as "the most trusted man in America," he was a steady
presence during two decades of social and political
upheaval.

Walter Cronkite centennial - CBS News

A CBS News bulletin slide came up suddenly during
the afternoon soap opera, “As The World Turns,” on
November 22, 1963, at which time Walter Cronkite
announced that President John F. Kennedy had been
shot.

An emotional Cronkite would later confirm the tragic
news: “From Dallas, Texas, the flash – apparently
official – President Kennedy died at 1 p.m. Central
Standard Time … some 38 minutes ago.”

FIRST CASES OF DEADLY 1918 FLU REPORTED

A Surprising New View Of Flu: Rethinking The 1918 Pandemic | CommonHealth

Just before breakfast on the morning of March 4, Private
Albert Gitchell of the U.S. Army reported to the hospital at
Fort Riley, Kansas, complaining of the cold-like symptoms
of sore throat, fever and headache. Soon after, over 100
of his fellow soldiers had reported similar symptoms,
marking what are believed to be the first cases in the
historic influenza
pandemic of 1918, later known as
Spanish flu.

The flu would eventually kill 675,000 Americans and an
estimated 20 million to 50 million people around the world, proving to be a far deadlier force than even the
First World
War
.
