To get it first is important - but more important is to get it right.

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

In the beginning, my mother humored me when I told her I wanted to be a reporter.

Every time I am in danger of believing the glamour of my own press, some incident inevitably brings me back to earth.

The single life is not one I willingly chose for myself.

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

To get it first is important - but more important is to get it right.
