The news anchor is exactly that - an anchor, a center, a focus.

For every two minutes of glamour, there are eight hours of hard work.

Although I was entirely relaxed on camera, if I had to stand up and say something to an assembled group of people, I was rendered all but inarticulate.

Women may not have it easy, but we are given a fairer chance to reach for the top.

In interviews I gave early on in my career, I was quoted as saying it was possible to have it all: a dynamic job, marriage, and children. In some respects, I was a social adolescent.

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?

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