“Replace Peter Jennings? No One Can”

“These were going to be Peter Jennings’ golden years,” former ABC News correspondent Robert Zelnick tells the LA Times. Zelnick calls Jennings’ illness “a body blow to ABC and to aficionados of evening news. I’ve been walking around for days feeling a lump of sadness. He’s been such a big part of our lives.”

> “Who would replace Peter Jennings? No one can,” an e-mailer says. “There’s just isn’t another reporter/anchor out there, with the taste, style, knowledge, understanding of international affairs, and bravery of Peter Jennings. Get well Peter!”
