|  I had a little insight into life that most kids probably didn't have. My mother was a schoolteacher, and my father was a social worker. Through his eyes I saw the underside of society. | | I saw how many people were poor and how many kids my age went to school hungry in the morning, which I don't think most of my contemporaries in racially segregated schools in the South thought very much about at the time. | | I didn't like the competitiveness of big-time journalism. | | I don't think I had a reputation as a hard worker, but inside I was always being eaten up by the pressures. | | I can't remember a time when I didn't want to be a reporter. I don't know where I got the idea that it was a romantic calling. |
