He was the one that talked to Cronkite about the shooting.

His comments about being "airbrushed" out of CBS's history are very revealing -- that is what the old Soviet Union did when they published older pictures of famous Russians, and one of them had been "airbrushed" out of the official USSR photograph.

Amazing.
