I read rip-and-read news, but I wasn't a reporter. I was reading the wire, and the other thing was, I was reading commercials - and I could do a hell of a commercial.
Can you imagine the most trusted man in America? Cronkite deserved it too.
I have no doubt that what we started has become a plague. Because - and that's a million years ago but we got caught up in the drama more than we caught up in going after the facts.
I'll be available when asked for whatever chores CBS News, '60 Minutes,' 'The Evening News,' et cetera, have in mind for me.
I'm a reporter; you can't subpoena people to talk to you. If you write to them and try to call them on the phone and they don't answer or so forth, then take them unawares.
I had a few things to say about him, and he cried. I think he's the real deal.
If you don't like me, you go to Wallace.
If you feel that strongly that we can get better candidates from California, let's get our next mayor or our next commissioner from there.
If you come at it from subject matter, you're never going to get there, Leave it open to struggle and contest, and don't give up too quickly.
By opening our streams up and getting obstructions out, it cuts down on water backup, and that affords us a little more protection and a little bit longer amount of time to notify residents.
If he's upset, I'm sorry for it. He had plenty of gestures for me.
I can't think of a better job for a reporter. It's been a joy.
He's a man with a heart as big as the shelter. When it came time to get down to the nitty-gritty, he had the volunteers there.
He said come and ask me anything. That was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
