Tom Brokaw
It doesn't do any good to wire the world if we short circuit the soul.
Tom Brokaw
A common lament of the World War II generation is the absence today of personal responsibility

The Fall of the House of Zeus is a riveting American saga of ambition, cunning, greed, corruption, high life and low life in the land of Faulkner and Grisham. These are good ol' boys gone bad with flair, private jets, and lots of cash to carry. Curtis Wilkie, a child of the South and a reporter's reporter, is the perfect match for this wild ride.

While attendance at traditional churches has been declining for decades... the evangelical movement is growing, and it is changing the way America worships.
Tom Brokaw
It will do us little good to wire the world if we short circut our souls. There is no delete button for racism, poverty, or sectarian violence. No key stroke can ever clean the air, save a river, preserve a forest. This transformational new technology must be an extension of our hearts as well as of our mind.
Tom Brokaw
Bias, like beauty, is often in the eye of the beholder. Facts are your firewall against bias.

David Brinkley was an icon of modern broadcast journalism, a brilliant writer who could say in a few words what the country needed to hear during times of crisis, tragedy and triumph.
