READING IS SOMETHING WE CAN DO AT ALMOST ANY AGE. I LIKE THE PORTABILITY OF BOOKS.  NOW MANY DEPEND ON THE INTERNET FOR THEIR NEWS AND BOOKS AS WELL.

MY LATEST BOOK WAS THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF WALTER CRONKITE, "A REPORTER'S LIFE."  IN THE BOOK, WALTER CHRONICLES HIS YEARS OF PUTTING NEWS FIRST, HIS TRAVELS DOING THAT, AND HIS ENCOUNTERS WITH THE RICH AND FAMOUS ALONG THE WAY.  HIS DISAGREEMENTS WITH MANAGEMENT ARE ALSO A PART OF THE BOOK.

KNOWN FOR HIS HONEST STRAIGHTFORWARD REPORTING, WALTER STOOD OUT AS AN ICON IN THE NEWS WORLD.  WE MISS HIM.  THE BOOK WAS PUBLISHED IN 1996, BUT STILL VERY TIMELY TODAY.
