Veteran Gossip Liz Smith: 'Legendary News Anchor Walter Cronkite Is Still Alive, Frisky'

ON SEPT. 24, Ted Koppel, formerly of ABC's "Nightline," will be saluted at the News and Documentary Emmy awards.

But in a recent interview with Variety, where Koppel was pooh-poohing such awards, did he really mean to say the following: "OK, so we've got a lifetime achievement award. Cronkite's dead, and we gave it to Rather. What about Koppel, is he still alive?"

Well, I'm not so sure about Koppel, but Walter Cronkite most definitely is not dead. He's still alive and kicking at age 90. He even has a devoted girlfriend.
