9. "Television is a high-impact medium. It does some things no other force can do-transmitting electronic pictures through the air. Still, as an explored, comprehensive medium, it is not a substitute for print."
10. "Dan Rather and I just aren't especially chummy."
11. "I want to say that probably 24 hours after I told CBS that I was stepping down at my 65th birthday, I was already regretting it. And I regretted it every day since."
12. "I've gone from the most trusted man in America to one of the most debated."
13. "There's a little more ego involved in these jobs than people might realize."
14. "And that's the way it is."
