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.
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.
sides spirit good-health
I would like to explore some side roads in life while I am still in good health and good spirits.
mother workout father
My mother, at least twice, cancelled our family's subscription to the newspaper I was working on, because she was so mad about its treatment of my father.
baseball book thinking
The first books I was interested in were all about baseball. But I can't think of one single book that changed my life in any way.
hero luck worship
Just by luck, I picked good heroes to worship.
happiness thinking giving
I think all those people I did stories about measured their own success by the joy their work was giving them.
love-you mind might
It's best to leap into something you know you love. You might change your mind later, but that is the privilege of youth.
parent wanted
My parents encouraged me in everything I ever wanted to do.
hate writing air
TV critics, who traditionally hate television and make their living writing about it, often didn't like what I did on the air.
