Peter Jennings, Dead at 67

From the Washington Post:

"Peter Jennings, 67, the urbane anchorman of ABC's evening newscast for the past 22 years, died yesterday at his home in New York, his network announced.

Jennings had not been on the air since April 5, when he revealed he had lung cancer. He had been conspicuously absent from the coverage of Pope John Paul II's funeral in Rome."

We mourn a staple, a fixture, an icon of the American news landscape. Prayerful.
