    David Brinkley died at home at age 82 from complications due to a fall. What a terrible way for such a great man to go....

    Brinkley was considered the one of the premiere broadcast journalists of his time, during which he covered Presidents from Franklin Roosevelt to Bill Clinton before his retirement in 1996.

    One of his more controversial moments was also one of the great moments of honesty in news journalism. This came about on election night 1996 when Bill Clinton's electoral vote count cinched the election; whereupon Brinkely called Clinton a "bore" and predicted "four more years of goddamned nonsense."

    Little did he know

    He leaves his wife, Susan, and four children. One of his sons, Alan, won an American Book Award for historical writings and another son, Joel, who won a Pulitzer Prize for journalism. Sounds like genetics counts for something.

    The ABCNEWS' "This Week" Sunday news-talk-debate program has not been the same without him.
