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

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

The bad news is that 50 people died in a hotel fire; the good news is that we got exclusive footage.

The idea of stardom was difficult to grasp. It was like being schizophrenic; there was her, the woman on television, and the real me.

Many senators have developed a canny sense of what will play best for the audience.

I very much wanted to be accepted by my peers, to be considered a serious journalist.

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