5. WALTER CRONKITE
On Nov. 22, 1963, Cronkite delivered perhaps the most frequently re-aired news report in our history. ''President Kennedy died at 1 p.m. Central standard time,'' he said. But it's what he did next that stays with us. Blinking back emotion, Cronkite paused to hold on to the composure we so desperately needed from him, put on his glasses, then soldiered through his broadcast. That day he became the standard by which all newscasters are measured.
