News Correspondent

Krauss served as a News correspondent on television and radio from 1972 to 1997. He was on the CBS Evening News anchored by Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather where he was the news division’s United Nations correspondent and economic reporter in New York before being posted abroad.

On Oct. 6, 1981, Krauss was covering a military parade in Cairo and was near enough to the assassination of Egypt President Anwar Sadat, but still managed to file his report as he suffered a shrapnel wound to his leg during the attack that killed the Egyptian leader.

Late in his CBS career he also anchored live coverage of the 1986 explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger that captured the worlds attention and the Anita Hill hearings in 1991.
