Forgot to Mention

As you have all heard, Peter Jennings died of lung cancer today. I always liked him as an anchor, and always seemed like the "young buck" of the big four network news guys: Jennings, Rather, Brokaw, and Koppel. He just didn't seem 67 to me.

The biggest surprise of the tribute I saw this morning on ABC: Ted Koppel is two years younger than Jennings. As is Tom Brokaw. Dan Rather, however, is still older than dirt.
