Classical Music and NBC News

When I was much younger - in my middle teens, the NBC nightly news (Chet Huntley and David Brinkley) always signed off with a piece of classical music.  It was very powerful at the end of the news (remembering that there were only three news outlets in the late 60's and early 70's).  I asked a neighbor who was particularly musically talented if they knew the name of the piece.  No luck.  I stumbled onto the piece in my first year at college ....  Beethoven's 9th symphony, movement number two ( Beethoven's 9th Symphony, Mvmt 2 ).  This piece also played prominently in Stanly Kubrik's movie "A Clockwork Orange"
