> The memorial for late ABC anchorman Peter Jennings, held Sept. 20 at Carnegie Hall, was, in a word, sincere. That was the trait about Jennings most of the speakers spoke to, along with the apparent fact that he was an A-1 sentimentalist and a great believer in a moral code to life. His son Chris Jennings said, "The slightest achievement by his children, or even his dog, could move him to tears." His daughter, Elizabeth, quoted from a speech Jennings gave at her high school graduation: "Once you are clear what your values are, you must always stand up for them."
