Congress & the Presidency in the Television Age.

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.

Whoever is elected to Congress and the presidency is going to have a satchel full of political IOUs to deliver on.

On television, I tried to absolutely hew to the middle of the road and not show any prejudice or bias in any way.

The democratic system is challenged by the failure in television because our evening news programmes have gone for an attempt to entertain as much as to inform in the desperate fight for ratings.

I had as much time to prepare for that moon landing as NASA did, and I still was speechless when it happened. It just was so awe-inspiring to actually be able to see the thing through the television that was a miracle in itself.
