CBS' morning efforts, ... represent the longest legacy of failure that exists in this business, and you just want to see whether you can break the string, whether you can start from scratch and take it out of last. I'll give it what I've got and hope that's enough.
There is a lot to life, and a lot more than just television to life.
In the first two years this is a man [Clinton] who tried his best to balance the budget, to reform health care, to fight for gay rights, to support personal freedoms. Couldn’t those be considered doing the right things, evidence of true character?
If I’m a young black man in South Central L.A., where poverty is rampant and unemployment is skyrocketing, I see that Washington’s promises of a year ago have gone unfulfilled, I see that perhaps for a second time, the court’s inability to mete out justice in a blind fashion, why shouldn’t I vent my anger?
The bombing in Oklahoma City has focused renewed attention on the rhetoric that’s been coming from the right and those who cater to angry white men. Right-wing talk show hosts like Rush Limbaugh, Bob Grant, Oliver North, G. Gordon Liddy, Michael Reagan and others take to the air every day with basically the same format: Detail a problem, blame the government or a group and invite invective from like-minded people. Never do most of the radio hosts encourage outright violence, but the extent to which their attitudes may embolden or encourage some extremists has clearly become an issue.
I feel responsibility for a lot of things that I manage to touch.
The bottom line is more tax money is going to be needed. Just how much will be the primary issue on the agenda when Congressional leaders meet with the President later today, Wednesday, May the 9th, 1990. And good morning, welcome to Today. It’s a Wednesday morning, a day when the budget picture, frankly, seems gloomier than ever. It now seems the time has come to pay the fiddler for our costly dance of the Reagan years.
I'm still going to do television. I'm just not going to do morning television. I would like to do some things that satisfy interests, private interests.
Success takes the courage to know who you really are and be comfortable with that.
How can you rank BYU No. 1? Who'd they play - Bo Diddley Tech?
It's not that I dislike many people. It's just that I don't like many people.
I feel young, but my body doesn't agree.
You'll never see me working five days a week again.
I once read that the only way to enjoy life is to observe everything with a sense of detached amusement. I don't always do that, but it serves you well to keep it in mind.
