During an NBC News Special Report on Wednesday, Nightly News anchor Brian Williams could barely contain his excitement over President Obama announcing the reopening of diplomatic relations with Cuba: "A momentous day, especially for those Americans old enough to remember the Cold War. The curtain came down between Cuba and the United States in January of 1961 and in just a moment diplomatic relations, at least the first steps to which, will be reestablished....It is a day of momentous change, fast-moving change..."
Turning to White House correspondent Chris Jansing, Williams remarked: "Chris, quite a day." Jansing replied: "Unbelievable. Fifty years of change. The first phone call, as you mentioned, between the leaders of these two countries since the revolution. And we're going to hear from the President that this doesn't need to be a relationship that's frozen in time."
