Walking into a room filled with people you don't know but who know you brings out your worst vulnerabilities.

In every interview I have ever read or seen or taken part in, the final question in our future-oriented society is always, What next?

By far my most perilous assignment was covering a tank car explosion.

News events cannot be controlled, nor can newscasts be mapped out like entertainment shows.

I have had a lifelong phobia of snakes.

Never refuse an assignment except when there is a conflict of interest, a potential of danger to you or your family, or you hold a strongly biased attitude about the subject under focus.

The better the coverage, the more discriminating the viewer.
