7 Days
For over two years while at CNN, I suffered the
unenviable assignment of working weekend overnights.
Brutal. Just brutal. So, each Friday night
when I came in to work, one of my first tasks was to
write and track a story for CNN International's week in
review program "7 Days." I actually enjoyed the
assignment more than reporting for the
standard World News programs as this show
allowed for slightly longer stories with more analysis.

""Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and
so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our
people, and neither do we."
"I want to thank the astronauts who are with us,
the courageous spacial entrepreneurs who set such a wonderful example for the
young of our country."
"Had we to do it over again, we would look at the
consequences of catastrophic success, being so successful so fast that an enemy
that should have surrendered or been done in escaped and lived to fight another
day."
