The latest wrinkle is on wrinkles. There is a widespread belief that women can't grow old in television news.

Women didn't want to watch other women on television because they were jealous of their husbands' diverted attention.

Many people have their reputations as reporters and analysts because they are on television batting around conventional wisdom. A lot of these people have never reported a story.

Ants are so much like human beings as to be an embarrassment. They farm fungi raise aphids as livestock launch armies into war use chemical sprays to alarm and confuse enemies capture slaves engage in child labour exchange information ceaselessly. They do everything but watch television.

Television brought the brutality of war into the comfort of the living room. Vietnam was lost in the living rooms of America - not on the battlefields of Vietnam.

The facts of life are that a child who has seen war cannot be compared with a child who doesn't know what war is except from television.

And I believe that public broadcasting has an important trust with the American people it's an intimate medium of television and that we can do reading and language development for young children without getting into human sexuality.

And as I've gotten deeper into the process of making films and television and such I think I have more trust in the fact that you really never know what you're going to find after the twenty-fifth take.

Everything has been homogenized. Over time with television and jet travel everybody has blended together. Some of our wonderful charm has been lost.

I would like to host a show something like travel or cooking or something like that something I'm really interested in and so I'm pitching a couple television shows.
