[Vision2020] David Brinkley

I just heard on NPR that David Brinkley died last night.  Does anyone 
remember when Huntley-Brinkley was only 15 minutes long, and it was regarded 
as a big gamble to expand a newscast to a whopping 30 minutes?  Broadcasters 
and advertisers thought no one would want to sit through a full half hour of 
news.  Does remembering this make me officially old?
