NBC's senior political analyst argues that the United States is uniquely positioned to maintain its position as world leader in spite of social and economic problems. A prescriptive study of where the United States stands in the last decade of the 20th century. John Chancellor was one of the premier television broadcast journalists of the 20th century. His coverage of the Kennedy Assassination earned him the nickname of "The Iron Man" because of his lengthy and effective on-air reporting. He epitomized, along with Walter Cronkite, what being both an effective television anchor and journalist was. John William Chancellor (July 14, 1927 - July 12, 1996) was an American journalist who spent most of his career with NBC News. He is considered a pioneer in television news. Chancellor covered issues of national importance while on The Huntley-Brinkley Report. Chancellor spent a number of years as a foreign correspondent in Europe, with postings in Vienna, London, Moscow, and Brussels (NATO Headquarters). He, Frank McGee, Edwin Newman, and Sander Vanocur comprised a team that covered the national political conventions in the 1960s so well, they were dubbed by industry observers as the "Four Horsemen". Chancellor served as anchor of the NBC Nightly News from 1970 to 1982 and continued to do editorials and commentaries for NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw until 1993. Chancellor has the distinction of creating the idea of using colors to represent the states won by presidential candidates in presidential elections. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: NBC news commentator Chancellor holds both Reagan and Congress responsible for tripling the national debt and for failing to address adequately a host of urgent problems such as housing, pollution and poverty. In this well-argued commentary he proposes a mixed bag of reforms: a national technology policy to overcome U.S. corporations' myopic obsession with short-term profits; increased taxes; a tax on Social Security benefits for those who don't need entitlements. He suggests keeping primary and secondary schools open all year and establishing a national youth service corps. He would reduce or eliminate the payments that political action committees give to members of Congress, abolish Presidential primaries and make national conventions more democratic.
