Correction: July 22, 2009
An appraisal on Saturday aboutWalter Cronkite ’s career included a number of errors. In some copies, it misstated the date that the Rev. Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. was killed and referred incorrectly to Mr. Cronkite’s coverage of D-Day. Dr. King was killed on April 4, 1968, not April 30. Mr. Cronkite covered the D-Day landing from a warplane; he did not storm thebeaches . In addition, Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969, not July 26. “TheCBS Evening News†overtook “The Huntley-Brinkley Report†onNBC in the ratings during the 1967-68 television season, not after Chet Huntley retired in 1970. A communications satellite used to relay correspondents’ reports from around the world was Telstar, not Telestar. Howard K. Smith was not one of the CBS correspondents Mr. Cronkite would turn to for reports from the field after he became anchor of “The CBS Evening News†in 1962; he left CBS before Mr. Cronkite was the anchor. Because of an editing error, the appraisal also misstated the name of the news agency for which Mr. Cronkite wasMoscow bureau chief after World War II. At that time it was United Press, not United Press International.
