The Munich massacre showed that amazing human side of McKay and it endeared him to the masses. I know Jennings, a news man, is supposed to stay calm and unbiased, but I thought during that whole tragedy he was simply steely cold. Even Cronkite shed a tear on live TV after the JFK assassination (I know that was a more emotional moment for Americans, but c'mon!) Jim McKay was a class act and managed to get non-jocks like myself to watch sports. We'll miss him.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14711659857064323006noreply@blogger.com
