My Personal Opinion Is That Guns Kill

In 27 Years Of Reporting From Washington, I've Never Heard A President Admit He Made A Mistake.

My Mother Gave Me A Push. If I Hadn't Had Her, Maybe I Wouldn't Have Had The Push. If I Hadn't Gone To Military School, Maybe I Wouldn't Have Decided To Get With The Program. Maybe I'd Be Running A Bulldozer, Rather Than Going On And Doing Something More.

I Was A Typical Farm Boy. I Liked The Farm. I Enjoyed The Things That You Do On A Farm, Go Down To The Drainage Ditch And Fish, And Look At The Crawfish And Pick A Little Cotton.

But In 1941, On December 8th, After The Japanese Attacked Pearl Harbor, My Mother Bought A Radio And We Listened To The War News. We'd Not Had A Radio Up To That Time. I Was Born In 1934, So I Was Seven Years Of Age.

As I Went To College, I Went Into Radio And Television. Now I Suppose Most People Think That's One Step Ahead Of Basket Weaving As A Major In College, But It Was Part Of The Journalism Department.
