Vedic Horoscope for Cronkite, Walter
American broadcaster, one of the most respected and reliable newscasters of the era who preceded over CBS coverage of the Presidential nominating conventions from 1952. He was CBS evening news anchor for more than 20 years, a beloved and trusted fixture in American living rooms through the '60s and '70s. Born and raised in the heartland, he had a cheery optimism that mirrored the everyday man, "work hard, play fair, believe in God and country and all will be right with the world." His resonant voice, deep and rich, rumbled forth with a sense of momentousness. He is remembered for his departing catchphrase, "And that's the way it is," followed by the date of the broadcast.Bob Skeetz quotes Carroll Righter for a Scorpio ASC, probably a solar chart. Steinbrecher quotes Cronkite's secretary for the same date, no record of time. Just after Cronkite's death in July 2009, PT changed the birth date from 14 November 1916 to 4 November 1916 to be consistent with information in his book "A Reporter's Life" and his obituary in the NY Times. The 14 November date was probably a typo and should have been 04 November.
