Dove si stava facendo la storia, Sander Vanocur era spesso lì con domande difficili. Il giornalista pionieristico che ha coperto la politica per la televisione e la stampa per più di 40 anni è morto di complicazioni dovute alla demenza lunedì 16 settembre 2019, mentre si trovava in ospedale a Santa Barbara, in California, secondo Il New York Times. Aveva 91 anni.

Vanocur è stato uno dei quattro giornalisti presenti nel panel del primo dibattito presidenziale televisivo tra Richard Nixon e John F. Kennedy, seguito da 70 milioni di telespettatori nel 1960. Più di tre decenni dopo, è stato uno dei relatori del dibattito tra George HW Bush, Bill Clinton e Ross Perot nel 1992.

Ha anche ospitato due serie sulla STORIA, Movies in Time e Storia & # x2019; s Business. Per Movies in Time, una volta ha intervistato Oliver Stone e Anthony Hopkins sul film del 1995 Nixon, confrontando le rappresentazioni del film con gli eventi storici reali. & # x201C; È & # x2019; s nell'occhio di chi guarda, & # x201D; Vanocur ha detto al Los Angeles Times della sua precisione. & # x201C; Una parte di me si ribella all'allentamento dei fatti. L'altra parte afferma che le persone hanno il diritto di interpretare la storia a modo loro ... Penso che stia mettendo in risalto le sue opinioni e le inserisca nel film, che è il suo diritto. Ma è una storia accurata? Non credo. # #2201D; penso di sì. & # X201D;

Lui stesso è apparso anche nei film come giornalista, con apparizioni nel 1971 La banda che non poteva sparare dritto, 1980 & # x2019; s Alza il Titanic, 1993 & # x2019; s Dave, 1996 & # x2019; s Scappare con l'omicidio e 1994 & # x2019; s Senza attenzione.Ha anche ricevuto il premio E. Van Scripps School of Journalism & # x2019; Carr Van Anda.

Nato l'8 gennaio 1928 a Cleveland, il suo nome era originariamente scritto Sander Vinocur. Ma dopo che sua madre e il padre avvocato divorziarono, si trasferì con i suoi figli a Peoria, nell'Illinois, e cambiò l'ortografia del loro cognome in Vanocur perché era arrabbiata con il vecchio, & # x201D; come Il New York Times dice Vanocur al giornale di San Pietroburgo, in Florida, The Evening Independent.

Vanocur si è laureato alla Western Military Academy di Alton, nell'Illinois e alla Northwestern University, e ha anche studiato alla London School of Economics. Ha anche prestato servizio nell'esercito.

Ha iniziato la sua carriera come reporter per The Manchester Guardian e ha lavorato per la BBC e la CBS News, prima di andare Il New York Times nel 1955. Nel 1957 si trasferì alla NBC News dove ricoprì diversi ruoli come corrispondente della Casa Bianca, Oggi mostra corrispondente D.C., Il Rapporto Huntley-Brinkley editore collaboratore e Primo martedì ospite. All'inizio degli anni '70 lasciò la NBC per la PBS, seguita da un periodo di lavoro Il Washington Post dal 1975 al 1977 e ABC News dal 1977 al 1991.

Tra le sue interviste più importanti c'erano la conversazione con Martin Luther King, Jr., presso la chiesa battista di Ebenezer meno di un anno prima che fosse assassinato e Robert Kennedy a Los Angeles presso l'Ambassador Hotel, poco prima che Kennedy fosse ucciso nel 1968.

& # x201C; Sono & # x2019; m un forte sostenitore della libertà di stampa & # x2014; purché abbiano qualcosa da dire, & # x201D; ha detto nel 2004 in un discorso alla Stanford University.

Vanocur era anche consulente presso il Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, professore di comunicazione alla Duke University, residenza professionale presso il Freedom Forum di Arlington, in Virginia, e aveva una propria attività di consulenza in comunicazione, Old Owl Communications.

Era sposato con Edith Pick nel 1956 e aveva due figli, Christoper e Nicholas. Dopo la morte di Pick nel 1975, sposò Virginia Backus Vancour, che gli sopravvive. È sopravvissuto anche a una figliastra, Daphne Wood Hicks.

Unlike traditional casino games, Astronaut puts players in control of a brave astronaut on a daring space mission through the cosmos. The game's core concept is elegantly simple yet thrilling: watch your astronaut's rocket soar higher and higher while the multiplier climbs, then cash out before the inevitable crash to secure your winnings. <a href=https://astronaut-crashgame.in/>astronaut-crashgame.in</a> The game operates on cutting-edge provably fair technology with an impressive 98% Return to Player (RTP) rate, making it one of the most player-friendly crash games available to Indian audiences. Players can start their cosmic journey with bets as low as ?1, making it accessible to a wide range of players across India's diverse economic landscape. The potential rewards are astronomical, with multipliers capable of reaching up to 50,000x the original bet. Why India Has Embraced Astronaut Cultural Appeal and Accessibility Astronaut's success in India stems from its perfect alignment with Indian gaming preferences. The game combines the excitement of space exploration - a theme that resonates strongly with India's growing interest in space technology - with the strategic elements that Indian players appreciate. The cosmic theme, featuring stunning visuals of space travel and celestial bodies, creates an immersive experience that feels both futuristic and familiar. <a href=https://astronaut-crashgame.in/>astronaut crash game</a> The game's accessibility is another key factor in its Indian success story.
