In television, everything is gone with the speed of light, literally. It is no field for anybody with intimations of immortality.

New York is the true City of Light in any season.

I much preferred the peaceful life on the road, where I didn't have to ask embarrassing questions and do all the things real reporters have to do.

And still I wander, seeking compensation in unforseen encounters and unexpected sights, in sunsets, storms and passing fancies.

It is liberalism, whether people like it or not, which has animated all the years of my life. What on Earth did conservatism ever accomplish for our country?

I didn't have the ambition to be a broadcaster. I was going to be a newspaper reporter the rest of my life, but that opportunity came along.

The first books I was interested in were all about baseball. But I can't think of one single book that changed my life in any way.
