Good night, Mr. Jennings. And thanks.

By Les, on 8 August, 2005

I was saddened to hear that journalist Peter Jennings has passed away. It was Jennings’s work that first got me to start watching TV news and his broadcast was usually the first I’d turn to during any of the major crisis’s that occurred over the years. His work largely speaks for itself so there’s not a whole lot to say other than there’s one less reason to watch major network news broadcasts now.

  None of the news stories has said anything about the source of Jennings’ lung cancer. I’m curious, though: Was Jennings a smoker?

  Yes, he was a smoker. He had given it up quite some time ago, but it wasn’t soon enough.

  He took it up again during the 9/11 crisis.
