It was in the way the Pope listened so intently to his hosts. It was the warm, two-hand embrace he shared with the young rabbi. It was in the somber cadence of his voice as he recounted Nazi atrocities, and the utter silence in the synagogue to hear his every breath.

...before eventually retaking the job of fulltime anchor of World News Tonight in 1983. Along with Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather, Peter Jennings formed the steady triumvirate of anchors that would preside over the American evening news for the next two decades.
