Cronkite and His Eyewitness Team

Walter Cronkite stands before a group of television monitors showing news correspondents for the television news program "Eyewitness," including Charles Kuralt at top left. Cronkite was frequently called the most trusted man in America, or even Uncle Walter. He preferred to liken himself to a "comfortable old shoe."
