There Was A Little Bit Of Ham

Well, I Was Born In El Paso, Texas, It Was In The Nearest Hospital To The Family Farm.

But As A Young Kid, I Never Did, Really Have An Ambition To Be A Farmer. I Never Thought, Gee, I Would Like To Farm, And I Want To Raise These Crops. I Didn't Quite Know What I Wanted To Do.

Some Days The Competition Would Beat Me And I'd Go Home Thinking Awful Thoughts, Want To Hide Under The Bed, Depressed. But Of Course, In The News Business, When You're Working A Daily News Broadcast, You Get Your Victories And Defeats Every Day.

My Mother Did All She Could To Control Me, But At Age 14 She Sent Me To A Military School.

So When I Cover The President, I Try To Remember Two Things: First, If You Don't Ask, You Don't Find Out; And Second, The Questions Don't Do The Damage. Only The Answers Do.
