response to my program of November 11 has delayed this reply. I want to thank
you for your thoughtfulness in taking the time to write. Your encouraging words
were very much appreciated. Sincerely yours," Respected reporter and
anchorman Howard K. Smith (1914-2002) was Chief European Correspondent
for CBS News (1946-1957) and Washington Correspondent for CBS
