I hope you have your nostalgia glasses on, or at least some form of eyewear that allows you to be completely comfortable with shoddy video quality. The above clip, which has been kicking it on the Internet for some time, combines two things that we don.t often get to see together these days: one of the most respected newsmen on the planet and a film that shattered the mold for computer graphics in cinema. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Walter Cronkite touring the set of 1982.s Tron, and that.s the way it is. Created for Universe, a 1980-1982 science-based series that Cronkite presented, the video makes up in content what it lacks in visual quality.

Industry remembers Walter Cronkite
Walter Cronkite, who earned the accolade “the most trusted man in America” for his earnest and stalwart style as the anchorman of the “CBS Evening News” for nearly two decades, died Friday. He was 92.
CBS vice president Linda Mason says Cronkite died at 7:42 p.m. Et after a long illness with his family by his side.
Cronkite, recruited by Edward R. Murrow from the United Press wire service, joined CBS News in 1950. He served as “Evening News” anchor and managing editor of CBS News from April 16, 1962, to March 6, 1981. Beginning in 1937, his career spanned more than six decades in radio, print and TV.
During a period of great national stress -- like the one brought on by the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963 -- Cronkite’s demeanor soothed a nation whose sense of reality had been threatened. With his pipe in...
