When an icon like Michael Jackson or Walter Cronkite dies, journalists memorialize by summarizing their impact. Time's "The Death of Peter Pan" was the best article I have read on Michael Jackson. Mark Washburn's article for The Record of New Jersey had some gems about Cronkite. Here are two:
"He took us around the planet and to the moon."
"Television’s speed, reach and impact had come of age, and Cronkite’s Midwestern timbre provided the soundtrack."
