Jesse Zousmer was the vice president and director of television news for ABC at the time of his death in the crash of a Canadian Pacific airliner at the Tokyo airport in 1966. He had been credited in his three years with ABC with innovating the network's news division, following a distinguished career at CBS. He had a long association with Edward R. Murrow, first as news writer for the first six years of Murrow's nightly radio newscast, and as a producer on "Hear It Now" and its television successor, "See It Now." Zousmer, with John Aaron, created and produced "Person to Person" for CBS, but left in a dispute with the network in 1959. He then co-produced several news specials for NBC before joining ABC in 1963.
