Walter Bernstein

"You have to be true to yourself, to what you believe in. You have to have a bottom line. You have to have some place beyond which you know you can't be pushed. It's not politics. It's morality."

Person

Walter Cronkite
"Man landing on the moon was the great story of our century, I believe.  The great single story of the [20th] century was man escaping his earthly environment and landing on a distant orb in that fashion."
Person

Lee Grant

"I have made some very, very good and tough documentaries that have changed some things. And coming from my blacklisted background, where I was unable to do so much for so long, the ability to take this journey into situations and people's lives and to give them my letter to the world, is a very important part for me. And of course, I love directing films, too."

Person

Sig Mickelson
"I'd like to be remembered as a person who took a very serious view of what television is doing. I tried, by every process possible, to improve the coverage. I knew devices, knew processes, knew electronic systems for delivering the information to the public, and through the process of combining the materials, the personnel, and the process of broadcasting, made it possible for the public to have a more intense idea of what's happening in its society." 
Person

Howard K. Smith
"When people are doing something wrong, you're not going to ask them, 'will you tell us what you're doing wrong?' They won't tell you. You've got to find a way to get around and get to them when they're not watching."
