The Walter Cronkite report is amazing! Considering he reported that the demonstrators were mostly white, young, and anti-Nixon, the beginning speech and the man on the street report were pretty brutal - especially for the time!
Yes, I just watched it again, and I only wish the reporting today were so direct and straightforward. That short intro by Barry Commoner was almost shocking. BTW, I was weaned on Walter Cronkite and when he retired my friend had a last broadcast get-together to mourn the passing of an era.
