I spent my career trying to speak to the broadest possible audience whether it's in print or whether it's in television.

History shows that people often do cast their votes for amorphous reasons-the most powerful among them being the need for change. Just ask Bill Clinton.

Change comes from listening, learning, caring and conversation.

Even marginal progress could be affected by investigations in Little Rock and in Washington.

I think I'm careful. My goal is to try to stay away as much from opinion journalism as possible.

When you are interviewing someone, you have a chance to follow up, to press, to dig in. In a debate there's 30 seconds for the other guy, too. And the goal is to get them to engage with each other, not to engage you necessarily.

In the media universe we're in, where there are people screaming on one end, there is no problem at all with having a little bit of extra politeness.
