Farewell CNN
After nearly five years at CNN, I said good-bye to CNN
International on April 21, 2000. Looking back, it
was a defining time in my career and one that taught me
so much about what is great in journalism and why the
business is deteriorating so depressingly fast.
Among the highlights of my time at CNN came on my very
last day,
at the end of my final show
when anchor Jim Clancy ad libbed an on-air send off for
me. Thankfully I collected the air
check and now cherish this clip more than any other in
my collection.

""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."
