I don't know what makes a good feature story. I've always assumed that if it was a story that interested or amused me, that it would have the same impact on other people.

I wasn't a very discriminating reader. I read just about everything that came along.

TV critics, who traditionally hate television and make their living writing about it, often didn't like what I did on the air.

Good teachers know how to bring out the best in students.

A country so rich that it can send people to the moon still has hundreds of thousands of its citizens who can't read. That's terribly troubling to me.

Just by luck, I picked good heroes to worship.

I'm not any kind of social reformer.
