Having heard Barack Obama talking about Cronkite he can deliver my eulogy.

I assume I get the services of his writers too.

That was a lovely bit though. I heard it on the radio and it sounded serious without being grave and even if you had never heard of Cronkite it gave a sense of his place in American culture.

It sounded to me like he’d just came back from an all-night bender, and somebody stuck the copy into his hands and said “Read.”
