被誉为“全美国最值得信赖的人”的传奇主持人沃尔特•克朗凯特于2009年7月17日去世,享年92岁。

Mr. Cronkite reported many events from 1937 to 1981, including bombing in World War II, the Nuremberg trials, combat in the Vietnam War,assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., Watergate, and the Iran Hostage Crisis, who became the nation's bearer of epochal tidings that punctuated the era. He was known for extensive TV coverage of the U.S. space program, from Project Mercury to the Moon landings, to the Space Shuttle. He was the only non-NASA recipient of a Moon-rock award, for which he became virtually the national voice of the space program.
