LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sander Vanocur, who for decades covered the biggest moments in U.S. politics for NBC and ABC news, has died.
Chris Vanocur tells The Associated Press his father died Monday night in Santa Barbara, California. He was 91.
As national political correspondent at NBC in the 1960s, Vanocur covered conventions, elections and assassinations during some of the most momentous years in American history.
He was a questioner at the first debate between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon in 1960 and went on to cover Kennedy’s administration from the White House.

RIP 
This is a tough day for American journalism.
You were a real professional.
RIP, sir.
I'm still mourning the death of John Chancellor, and that was ages ago...
of my age group drop like flies. 
They seem to be going at an accelerated pace lately, and the more who precede me the more I think about my own mortality. I'm not scared of death, but there's so many things I want to do before I shuffle off my mortal coil. Sandor and Cokie were two giants of my generation, and they'll be greatly missed. Many of my favorite musicians are passing as well. Don't let anyone kid you, the 'golden years' suck ass.
And come to think of it, I haven't heard his name in a long time. I guess he would be that age too! 
He was sortof one of those old-school "backbone of the media" correspondents.
R.I.P.
He was the one who told Walter Cronkite that JFK was dead (Cronkite stressed that no official confirmation had been released, though, but dutifully reported Rather's report). He went to Vietnam, reported on Watergate, etc.
