"This is a learning process rather than a teaching process," he had said when asked about the note pad. Opposite him in a matching pale orange chair was CBS Anchorman Walter Cronkite, an avuncular master of ceremonies who was hardly needed, so smoothly and knowledgeably did the President field the questions and set the gentle tone that graced the day.
