ABC <br>Radio Networks tells the Associated Press. He was 90.<br><br>A cause of death was not immediately available. Harvey's passing comes <br>less than a year after that of his wife and longtime producer, Lynne.<br><br>"My father and mother created from thin air what one day became radio and <br>television news," Paul Harvey Jr. said in a statement. "So in the<br>past <br>year, an industry has lost its godparents and ... millions have lost a <br>friend."<br><br>Known for his staccato voice and trademark delivery of "The Rest of the <br>Story" (a feature through which he anecdotally recalled the lives of <br>famous folk), Harvey's career as a nationally broadcast radio man begin <br>1951, when he launched his "News and Comment" program on ABC Radio <br>Networks.<br><br>In 1970, Harvey famously reversed his stance on the Vietnam War, <br>broadcasting this message to Richard M. Nixon: "Mr. President, I love <br>you ... but you're wrong [to expand the
war]." Harvey's urging of<br>the <br>president to pull out of Vietnam elicited an onslaught of letters and <br>phone calls, including one from the White House.<br><br>At the peak of his career, Harvey reached more than 24 million listeners <br>on more than 1,200 radio stations, and his syndicated column was carried <br>by 300 newspapers. In 2000, he signed a new 10-year contract with ABC <br>Radio Networks. He was forced off the airwaves briefly in 2001 by a <br>virally weakened vocal cord.<br><br>"Paul Harvey was one of the most gifted and beloved broadcasters in our <br>nation's history," ABC Radio Networks President Jim Robinson said in a<br><br>statement. "[We] were so fortunate to have known him."<br><br>Among many accolades, Harvey received the presidential Medal of Freedom <br>and was an inductee in the Radio Hall of Fame.<br><br>And now, we sadly know the rest of Tulsa, Oklahoma-born Paul Harvey <br>Aurandt's story.
