- <p> DIED. Harry Reasoner, 68, avuncular television newsman who
- brought a droll flavor to his reporting for CBS News, especially
- on 60 Minutes, which he helped launch in 1968; of
- cardiopulmonary arrest; in Norwalk, Conn. Starting at CBS in
- 1956, Reasoner wrote and reported for daily newscasts, specials
- and CBS Reports. Convinced he'd never get the chance to anchor
- the CBS Evening News while Walter Cronkite was still there,
- Reasoner jumped to ABC in 1970. Network chiefs angered Reasoner
- in 1976 when they hired Barbara Walters to be co-host of the ABC
- Evening News. He returned to CBS in 1978.
