in my lifetime. It really said something that universally affects our entire society, the entire world.

It definitely sounds like he wrote every word. I'd bet he has green light from his bosses, to speak his mind. He is after all, someone who sat in the pinnacle of America journalism, the CBS anchor chair for a few years, his legacy compatriots include, Murrow, Cronkite, Rather, as well as the elite producers and journalists at 60 minutes. This is heft. This speech will be remembered for many decades when historians write of this time period.

And most importantly, the speech is unassailable. It tells the truth.
