howard k. smith, future news anchor had talked about four stages when americans came to germany or many foreigners came to germany after hitler came to power. one was completely in awe of germany, a well ordered society, people seemed polite and beginning to rebound from the depression and this admiration. then, two, all this military here, and exciting, marching bands and marching boots and thousands of people. third stage is, oh, my god, these people are being trained to kill, conquer and the fourth stage is utter terror. some americans want through those stages really fast. some stayed suck at one or two. some stayed at three and back to two. it was very interesting -- truman smith calls on a hearst correspondent, the first one to meet hitler in 1922 and have a pretty good read on him. he is a marvelous demagogue and this guy could go far in bavaria. that was as far as the imagination went. still, that wasn't a bad perception. >> how big is bavaria inside germany? >> southern state of german

k. smith, excuse me, and -- excuse me, harry reasoner and howard k. smith with abc. and walter cronkite with cbs. and we also respected greatly the correspondents with those programs, the likes of the brothers marvin and bernard kalb, sam donaldson and one of the best, barrie dunsmore. as ted koppel says in in his forward to the book, we gave american television viewers what we thought they needed to know, not necessarily what they would have selected for themselves. now, that era's largely gone. we have good news, sources of good news today, but they no longer provide a common starting point for our national dialogue. we're very fortunate to have mr. dunsmore here with us today from an era that many of us think was a golden era of newscasting. he has an illustrious and long background. i've provided his background for you to be read. i don't think you want -- i would think you want to hear him rather than me. but let me just say he covered foreign affairs for abc news for 30 years reporting from washington and abroad on the policies of seven u.s. presidents from lyn

howard k. smith, the future abc news anchor, talked about four stages when american journalists came to germany. one was being completely in awe of germany. it was a well ordered society. people were polite. it was rebounding from the depression. two, they were saying, there are all of this -- these military here. third states is, these people are being trained to kill, to conquer. there is utter terror. some americans went through those four stages really fast. some stayed stuck at one or two. some went to three and back to two. truman smith, as military attache, the on an american correspondent and -- called on an american correspondent. they had a pretty good read on him. they said, he could go far in this area. that was as far as the imagination could go. >> how big is bavaria inside germany? >> the southern state of germany -- munich is the center. it has always been an entity unto itself. it is near the austrian border. it has a distinct culture. by the way, hitler always felt more comfor

walter cronkite at cbs news, david brinkley of nbc and leader of adc and howard k. smith, who left cbs to anchor at adc. when you were watching them on television, you were getting an authentic person, not the creation of focus groups, queue ratings honeycutt artists and publicity people. these virginia and journalists, and i can promise you that the way they can cross on the air is very much the way were in person. the personality was different it's notable how similar they were in terms of background and journalistic philosophy. a remarkable, too all were southerners. the background turned out to be very important to how they approached probably the most important story of their times and hours, the civil rights movement of the 1960's. as young men, none of these three had been an activist for racial equality. cronkite actually confessed as a young man he had not have the courage to challenge his teenage friends at his texas high school when they made racist remarks. but all of these men had seen enough racism in the south to know that it was morally wrong to perp

. >> they were there to debate issues that howard k smith the anchor man from abc was sitting in betweenses -- it's hard to pick out from the audio, because they are talking over each other. gor called buckley a crypto nazi, and in return -- and realize in 1968 this word did not exist in public discourse -- he called him a queer. and he said shut up or i'm going to slap you in the face and you are going to stay plastered. but here is how far we have come to our chick-fil-a moment in 2012, abc could play the phrase crypto-nazi, but they bleeped the word queer. because you couldn't say queer on television. >> wow. obviously the documentary, he talks about he added homosexual reference to ben herr. >> yeah. and jim you more than anyone miss gor vidal. >> david this is part of your interview with him in 2006. here we go. >> in the long run, we have got to get rid of this gang before the gang gets rid of the american republic entirely. it's already have gone. it's going to take 50 hundred years to get back to where we were before the year 2000. they have wrecked the bill of rights. they have

bernstein or walter cronkite could do some things, a gesture for the amanda d., to call out for howard k smith, this notion that we have to confront evil. and when we see it, sometimes you have to lose your objectivity in order to talk about a genocide or a reporter of current journalism can shift public policy. like uncle todd's cabin or rachel carson on the environment. i think there's still a hope. edwin r. burroughs may be long dead, but the shadow of borough is all over on foreign correspondents. they want to get and never go after the bad guy. postcode lets run out of clay. this is from his program, person-to-person. it wasn't exactly tough journalism. let's watch. >> good evening. the name of the program is person-to-person. what sort of fellow is like to live with? >> should have really answer? well, i think he's the nicest person i've ever lived with. >> the selector is eight months and two days. >> is the wearing make up now? >> he's retired. >> when mr. demille found out we were going to have a baby, he said it was a boy he can play the nsaid moses in 10 commandments. >> easie
