Quotes

• “Good evening. President Reagan, still training his spotlight on the economy, today signed a package of budget cuts that he will send to Congress tomorrow. Lesley Stahl has the story.”
• “He invented the job, the job of anchoring, did it himself for 40 years, and taught two generations of anchormen, including this one, how to do it. He's retiring, but he'll be with us in spirit, and he'll be a part of every broadcast we do.”
• “[My job is] a very high trapeze act, frequently with no net.”
• “To use tragedy to sow division is the hallmark of a despot.”
