philosophy people important
I don't have any well-developed philosophy about journalism. Ultimately it is important in a society like this, so people can know about everything that goes wrong.
impact people stories
I don't know what makes a good feature story. I've always assumed that if it was a story that interested or amused me, that it would have the same impact on other people.
people romance lucky
I'm not knocking the wholesale grocery business or any other, but there is a kind of romance in journalism which some people, the lucky ones, feel inside them all their lives.
kindness people expectations
You can't travel the back roads very long without discovering a multitude of gentle people doing good for others with no expectation of gain or recognition. The everyday kindness of the back roads more than makes up for the acts of greed in the headlines. Some people out there spend their whole lives selflessly.
country moon people
A country so rich that it can send people to the moon still has hundreds of thousands of its citizens who can't read. That's terribly troubling to me.
reality people remember
The reality of any place is what its people remember of it.
running rivers people
Rivers run through our history and folklore, and link us as a people.... We are a nation rich in rivers.
people greed literature
There are a lot of people who are doing wonderful things, quietly, with no motive of greed, or hostility toward other people, or delusions of superiority.
happiness happy trip
Sometimes I would think myself happy never to leave. Every trip must end.
joy looks easy
Look for joy in your life; it's not always easy to find.
sides spirit good-health
I would like to explore some side roads in life while I am still in good health and good spirits.
country stars yankees
You can find your way across this country using burger joint the way a navigatior uses stars....We have munched Bridge burgers in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge and Cable burgers hard by the Golden Gate, Dixie burgers in the sunny South and Yankee Doodle burgers in the North....We had a Capitol Burger - guess where. And so help us, in the inner courtyard of the Pentagon, a Penta burger.
thinking stories lines
I think the feature reporter often walks a very thin line between a truly human story and one that slops over into mushiness or sentimentality.
years two rivers
The Mississippi River carries the mud of thirty states and two provinces 2,000 miles south to the delta and deposits 500 million tons of it there every year. The business of the Mississippi, which it will accomplish in time, is methodically to transport all of Illinois to the Gulf of Mexico.
