I have made my living bearing witness to some of the most horrific events of the end of our century, at the end of the 20th century.

Our industry has invested so much money in technology that perhaps it's time to invest in talent, in people.

U.S. soldiers, with whom I now have more than a passing acquaintance, joke that they track my movements in order to know where they will be deployed next.

In Bosnia, little children shot in the head by a guy who thinks it's okay to aim his gun at a child.

There are some situations one simply cannot be neutral about, because when you are neutral you are an accomplice. Objectivity doesn't mean treating all sides equally. It means giving each side a hearing.

And then theres always the crying and the weeping that we hear-children, women, even men. And these images and these sounds are always with me.

I'm thrilled to be joining the incredible team at ABC News. Being asked to anchor 'This Week' and the superb tradition started by David Brinkley, is a tremendous and rare honor, and I look forward to discussing the great domestic and international issues of the day.
