Connie Chung was a groundbreaker. She was just about the only \u2018girl on the bus\u2019 during the McGovern campaign in 1972, then chased the Watergate scandal. She reached her dream job when she became the first woman to co-anchor the CBS Evening News, and the first Asian American to anchor a program on any of the networks.
