David Brinkley was a true pro. Someone with his non-flashy, dry, sometimes acerbic style could probably never make it in television journalism in today's world. He didn't look like a male model, and he didn't resort to showmanship to attract viewers. Instead, he just presented, solid, well-written news, with the occasional glint and ever-so-subtle smirk. Would that there were a David Brinkley anchoring every television newscast.
"Goodnight, David."
