Our timing was amazing. One of the first calls I got after the hurricane was from Conrad Schmidt, asking about them. Our windows, which faced north and south, came through intact.

He was surprised Conrad would be in Indianapolis. This is just one of the few of however many there are, and it was here.

We tried to contain Fitzpatrick and Conrad, and we did it in the first half. Then they were playing into the wind in the second half and put a couple in. But we never quit.

The mayor has asked only one thing of me -- to take all necessary steps to find wrong doing in city government and to expose it. If this requires big plans, I stand ready to put them in place.

One of the first places that they flew me to after the hurricane was San Antonio. I was separated from my wife, and I was looking for her. It just so happened that my stepson and my grandson were in the same place getting their medicine. And they were looking for me and told me that my wife was in Plano, safe.

It was the first time Soviets and Americans got to hear uncensored discussions of real-life things about each other on television.
