David Brinkley

Age: 82

pioneering journalist who, with Chet Huntley, hosted NBC's influential Huntley-Brinkley Report.

In 1981, he left NBC for ABC, where he hosted the Sunday morning talk show This Week with David Brinkley. His 1995 memoir summed up his career: David Brinkley: 11 Presidents, 4 Wars, 22 Political Conventions, 1 Moon Landing, 3 Assassinations, 2,000 Weeks of News, and Other Stuff on Television and 18 Years of Growing Up in North Carolina.
