Walter Cronkite
Risk 100Broadcast journalist
Once dubbed the most trusted man in America, this legendary CBS Evening News anchor spent two decades delivering history's biggest moments straight into living rooms—from JFK's assassination to the moon landing to Watergate. At 92, the man who told a nation "and that's the way it is" has certainly earned his retirement, though Father Time remains undefeated even against broadcasting royalty. With a Peabody, Emmy, and Presidential Medal of Freedom on the mantle, Cronkite's legacy is secure—now it's just a matter of when he signs off for good.
