Zitat des Tages von Irv Kupcinet:
As a kid, I'd get up at 3 in the morning during school vacations to help my father on his bakery-truck route. He didn't get a vacation from that schedule.
What can you say about a society that says that God is dead and Elvis is alive?
An optimist is a person who starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day.
'At Random' ran on Saturday nights for as long as the conversation was still lively. Sometimes, I'd finish way after midnight, then hop a plane for whatever city I was working a football game that Sunday.

Chicago, with its big newspapers and major broadcasting stations, couldn't have been a better city to start a journalism career.
I wish all high schools could offer students the outside activities that were available at the old Harrison High on Chicago's West Side in the late '20s. They enabled me to become part of a school newspaper, drama group, football team and student government.
