Remembering Don Hewitt on his birthday 🎂
📷 Librado Romero, 1999
"As a director & producer, Hewitt helped shape the early broadcasts of pioneers like Edward R. Murrow, Douglas Edwards & Walter Cronkite & oversaw CBS’s coverage of watershed moments."
- Jacques Steinberg

"It was a confrontation & a joint news conference, but nobody ever debated."
- Don Hewitt on the Nixon-Kennedy debate
Standards were a bit higher then!

"Kennedy knew how important this television appearance would be. Nixon kissed it off as just another campaign appearance."
- Don Hewitt
