White, hispanic, black, asian are capable of doing extraordinary things if you give them a shot. Just give them the tools.

years of 60 minutes? no dramatic difference in terms of reporting the news or doing interviews for the news or, really, even between doing what is construed as hard news versus feature stuff. the same rules apply. you try to get to the core, the core of the individual. i think really that is why we have an audience for the last 45 years on 60 minutes. i think it is precisely why people watch the broadcast. we have no or few access i do not think we do any at all. i think we are fair. it is the fairness that is the attraction, unlike some much of what you see on cable, where fairness is the last thing people are being offered. to a certain audience, the last thing they want. we have a video from your office we took a camera there. i want you to talk us through than what the environment is, how long you have been there. you can see it on the screen. that is the lobby. we have a huge clock, which nobody really likes. that is the corridor of where the correspondence
