It is, I believe, the greatest generation any society has ever produced.
Tom Brokaw
I think they are paying a lot more attention to news now, by the way, in part because of national-security issues. A lot of young people have friends or family in the military today.

Votes are something that you earn.

there on the beaches of Normandy I began to reflect on the wonders of these ordinary people whose lives were laced with the markings of greatness.

No text message will ever replace the first kiss.

I think it's very much a matter between Barbara Walters and ABC.

Sackcloth and kelp soup are not required, but the Buddhist reminder of the need to live lightly on the earth is a helpful guide to the daily habits and needs of us all.
