Was it ever decided why Walter Cronkite wasn't in NYC when the initiation happened?

He was wrapping up a vacation on Martha's Vineyard-the original board mentioned him IIRC planning to go back to NYC later in the day.
The difference between diplomacy and war is this: Diplomacy is the art of telling someone to go to hell so elegantly that they pack for the trip.
War is bringing hell down on that someone.
