Jim Lehrer, the unflashy and never fashionable anchorman who delivered the news to public television audiences for 36 years before his retirement in 2011, has died at age 85
. “It’s not magic, and it’s not saintly. We’ve been doing it for 36 years, and we’ll continue doing it. Others won’t. That’s their problem.”upon the news of Lehrer's retirement: “Jim has been able to bequeath the most precious commodity in journalism, the enormous trust and credibility he has inspired over the years. … It starts with fairness. Jim’s sense of fairness is distilled in the personal guidelines he works by as a journalist.
. He was assigned to cover the arrival of John F. Kennedy at Dallas’ Love Field on Nov. 22, 1963, and with a chance of rain, he noticed the Plexiglas bubble on the president’s limousine — set to take part in a motorcade through downtown — was up. “And then he says, 'Clear downtown.' And the agent that I’m talking to then yells to the other agents who are in charge of the motorcade, ‘Lose the bubble top.’When suspect Lee Harvey Oswald was hauled in to a Dallas police station, Lehrer shouted out, “Did you shoot the president?”
