LOS ANGELES — Sander Vanocur, a television newsman who for decades covered momentous events from political campaigns to assassinations, the Vietnam War to the civil rights movement, has died, his son said Tuesday.
"His storied career put him on the front lines of the biggest political stories of the 1960s, the first stories being televised for many of us," NBC News political director Chuck Todd said in a segment Tuesday. He was also the last survivor of the four questioners at the Nixon-Kennedy debate. Vanocur said while he had a front-row seat to one of the most important moments in 20th century politics, he felt like he missed it because he hadn't seen it like a viewer would have.
Born in Cleveland, Vanocur moved to Peoria, Illinois when he was 12, and earned a degree in political science from Northwestern University in 1950. Vanocur returned to the U.S. and covered city news for The New York Times then landed at NBC in the late 1950s.
