Today, especially, when there are so many stations for viewers to choose from, if they want news, they always come to CNN and that's where I wanted to be
I once bought an old car back after I sold it because I missed it so much and I had forgotten that it never ran. It was a British racing car. You know, because I just wanted it back. I could only remember what was good about it
We're going to develop - what we want to do is to provide the viewers with what they want from CNN and that is the news. So when people tune in, they'll get the latest news, but they'll also get the biggest story of the day in depth, as CNN does so well
Walter [Cronkite] sang me a little sea chantey. The verse ended, 'Just watch your back with Dan [Rather], dear, just watch your back with Dan.'.

I wanted to be scared again... I wanted to feel unsure again. Thats the only way I learn, the only way I feel challenged.
Well, honestly, both my husband and I tend to ignore the tabloids. We see them every once in awhile or it comes to our attention that we are in a tabloid for one reason or another. But it's always false
So I'm expecting the officer to come to my window, but a blaring light comes on and he starts blaring orders over a P.A. system for all the passengers in the car to get out with their hands in the air,
I used to think I would never see a woman anchor the network evening news alone in my lifetime. This was the last vestige of male dominance. She already accomplished the unthinkable...just by getting the job.
