"[Don] Hewitt, author of "Tell Me a Story: Fifty Years and 60 Minutes in
Television," says he coined the word "anchor" during CBS's coverage of a political convention in
the 1950s. The network used several broadcasters to report the event, and, as in a
relay race, it had Mr. Cronkite be the principal, or anchor. (He went on to solo for
CBS News.)"
