Walter Cronkite, TV host of YOU ARE THERE.
At the end of the program, after Cronkite summarized what happened in the preceding event, he reminded viewers, "What sort of day was it? A day like all days, filled with those events that alter and illuminate our times... all things are as they were then, except you were there."
After a 14 year gap the series was seen again on Saturday mornings as a videotaped color program from 1971 to 1972. 14 new episodes were produced, aired on Saturday afternoons from 12:30pm to 1:00pm. The format of the revival was basically the same as the original versions. These programs were also hosted by Cronkite. Both series were produced by CBS News.
An unusual Public Affairs series, YOU ARE THERE began in 1947 as a radio show (it was originally titled CBS was There). Each week a well-known historical event was recreated, and the leading figures in each drama were interviewed by CBS news correspondents (the correspondents were always in modern-day dress, regardless of the setting of the story). The television version ran from 1953-1957 on Sunday afternoons, and was revived in 1971 as a Saturday-afternoon show, aimed principally at children. Walter Cronkite was the chief correspondent on both TV versions. Many contemporary CBS NEWS correspondents would appear in each broadcast for the revival series. Paul Newman guest-starred on one program as Nathan Hale (30 August 1953) and the 1971 premiere " The Mystery of Amelia Earhart" featured Geraldine Brooks and Richard Dreyfus.
In today's repeat episode: "The Mystery of Amelia Earhart."
Chronicles events in the mysterious disappearance of the aviatrix on a July 2nd 1937 flight across the Pacific.
Geraldine Brooks stars as Amelia Earhart. With Richard Dreyfus, Fred Noonan, Thomas Connelly. Richard C. Hottelet recreates an interview with Amelia Earhart.

NOTE:
This audio air check is the only broadcast record, known to date, of this historic game.
IN RETROSPECT:
On September 30, 1972, Roberto Clemente stepped to the plate in the fourth inning of a game against the Mets. Little was at stake for the Pirates, as they'd already clinched the NL East title. But history was at hand for the 38-year-old right fielder, who sat at 2,999 hits.
He had struck out in the first inning, but he wouldn't be denied in his second at-bat -- he doubled, becoming the 11th MLB player, and first Latino, to reach the 3,000-hit milestone. 1960 World Series hero Bill Mazeroski (also playing in his final season) pinch hit for Clemente the next time his spot came up in the order. Although he briefly played in the field three days later, as well as throughout that year's NLCS against the Reds, Clemente would never make another regular season plate appearance.
He died in a plane crash off the coast of Puerto Rico on New Year's Eve 1972, attempting to bring emergency supplies to Nicaragua, which had recently been ravaged by a major earthquake. His influence as a pioneering Latino, a humanitarian and an outstanding baseball player was recognized in his time as much as it is today -- he the second player in history (after Lou Gehrig) to have the five-year Hall of Fame induction waiting period waived.

October 1, 1962-May 22, 1992. Johnny Carson, host of NBC's network late-night "Tonight Show" reigned for 30 unprecedented years...five times the combined tenure of Steve Allen, and Jack Paar. Carson was impervious to competition, including efforts to dethrone him by Les Crane, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, Jack Paar, Pat Sajak, Joan Rivers, and Arsenio Hall. Sadly, very few complete "Tonight Show" broadcasts survive during Johnny Carson's first ten years of broadcasting. Around 1965, through the early 1970's, oldest tapes were first erased systematically by orders from myopic NBC executives, to be recycled for purposes of saving money. Ironically, in many cases, these older master tapes were too brittle, and portended probable drop-outs for re-use after being erased. Subsequently blank after being erased, these older questionable master 2" Quad tapes were either sparingly used or never used again for recording new programming and eventually were discarded. Saving thousands of dollars at the time (wiping master tapes for potential re-use) resulted in losing millions of dollars by NBC in today's marketplace, and more importantly wiping thousands of historic TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts, which contain precious personal anecdotes from political, show business, and sports icons of the past.
Johnny Carson welcomes guests Governor Ronald Reagan, Joey Bishop, George Burns, Jerry Lewis, Don Rickles, Dan Rowan, Dick Martin, Dinah Shore, Jack Benny, Dean Martin and President of NBC Don Durgin.
