Walter before he was famous. I also enjoyed Eric Severaid thoughtful commentary as a kid, like 1977-78 or so. Good stuff. Trust journalists and protect freedom of the press.
I was a kid in the sixties, and all of them are familiar names, but I never saw Severeid that young! I have long-remembered Robert Trout because of his distinctive name, look, and his elegant delivery.
This is the only Sunday WML live broadcast from Chicago, a day before the beginning of the 1956 Democratic National Convention. Daly had worked for CBS News in radio in the 1930s-1940s, and CBS TV News in the early 1950s. By this time, he worked as an ABC News reporter -- vice president. So Daly and the CBS crowd were competitors. Cronkite did at one time early in the1950s work with a lion puppet on his morning program.
Dorothy Kilgallen: Will you be appearing on television during the Convention? Douglas Edwards: Yes. Dorothy Kilgallen: Will you get paid for that? Eric Sevareid: A little. *i'm dying!!!*

Ahh the trusted CBS newsmen. Cronkite, Trout, Edwards, Collingwood, and Sevareid.

Flawless delivery…

actually Eric Severeid is on the far left ( stage right)
SueBeaWho And McCarthy didn’t get to him, huh ... fancy that ...
Very fun to watch this @marciodisney.
Since this took place while Douglas Edwards was still anchor, he should have been the one sitting next to John.
Cronkite was already a legend and the biggest star in the news arena, ever since his WWII reporting.
Cronkite was the lead for CBS News’ convention coverage
