My goal was to be a network correspondent by the time I was 30.

Television is intensely personal.

When I first anchored in 1970, I had never seen a woman anchor a news show.

Newscasters cannot call attention to themselves by being too attractive or too unattractive.

Some news managers have been slow to grasp that good television news is always substance over form.

The most important event I covered was the Panama Canal debate, which dragged on for months.

A press card does not provide you with an invisible shield. You're flesh and blood.
