Monday Mourning

Peter Jennings

1938-2005

Peter Jennings, a high school dropout from Canada who transformed himself into one of the most urbane, well-traveled and recognizable journalists on American television, died yesterday at home. He was 67 and lived in Manhattan.

At last you have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And now you dance the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Godspeed Peter!
