I Respect:

  • Honesty
  • Kindness when no one’s watching
  • Fred Friendly, the former president of CBS News and my first boss
  • Katharine Hepburn
  • My father, Warren Graham McFadden. He worked for the telephone company for 45 years and was married to my mother for 50 years. I think that, in many ways, the defining experience of his life was being a prisoner of war in Germany during World War II. He was the most deeply influential person in my life. His high standards and constant support gave me courage. His death from brain cancer just before the birth of my son was a loss I still feel every day. He and my mother adopted me when I was a baby on a very lucky day 52 years ago
