News events are like Texas weather. If you don't like it, wait a minute.

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

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

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.

It is my belief that one's salary is between an individual and the IRS.

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.

Television news is a delicate balance of serving public good and private gain.
