Kennedy in 1960, died Saturday at an assisted living home in this Seattle suburb, relatives and associates said. He was 96.

Shadel, who worked with Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite, Eric Sevareid and Howard K. Smith at CBS, was the first host of "Face the Nation" and later became a University of Washington communications professor.
