<p> DIED. Harry Reasoner, 68, avuncular television newsman who
brought a droll flavor to his reporting for CBS News, especially
on 60 Minutes, which he helped launch in 1968; of
cardiopulmonary arrest; in Norwalk, Conn. Starting at CBS in
1956, Reasoner wrote and reported for daily newscasts, specials
and CBS Reports. Convinced he'd never get the chance to anchor
the CBS Evening News while Walter Cronkite was still there,
Reasoner jumped to ABC in 1970. Network chiefs angered Reasoner
in 1976 when they hired Barbara Walters to be co-host of the ABC
Evening News. He returned to CBS in 1978.
