Walter Cronkite

Surely there has never been a more beloved newsman than Walter Cronkite. His voice is perhaps the most famous in all of broadcasting. From his debut on the CBS Evening News in 1962 until his retirement in 1981, he developed such rapport with viewers that he was voted the most trusted man in America. In his later years he continues to be a shining example of the journalistic values that form his credo: accuracy, fairness, and honesty.

ubbed "America's Choir" by President Ronald Reagan, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir will celebrate 75 years of continual broadcasting in July 2004.  From its earliest beginning, just a few months after the pioneers arrived in the Salt Lake Valley, to its prestige as a world- renowned choir courted by concert halls in the most sophisticated cities across the globe, the Choir has a unique and fascinating story, now told in words and images by author Heidi S. Swinton and on film by Lee Groberg.  As composer John Williams has said, "These are people who are there for the joy of music."  America's Choir is their story.
