Kyra, just remember what Sharon Stone said years ago..."You can only sleep your way to the 'middle'."

Kissinger probably...

3. That's what I heard...

Of course, she was the first woman to rise so high in TV news, too.

People (white senior newsmen) were bound to talk.

4. Interestingly,

I know her former husband's family quite well here in Philly. they never ever say anything bad about her ever ever ever, even when she makes a complete fool of herself - they're a pretty swift group, probably sworn to utter secrecy.

5. But for Barbara...

There would be no Jane Pauley, Leslie Stahl, etc.

She's a pioneer.

No one turns down an interview with her!

[PCIntern]

6. yeah well, that being said...

she's the one who asked Kitty Dukakis right out of the box if the would be a Passover Sedeer in the White House if Michael were elected. It was a sneak attack...she never asked anyone in the Bush family any one of a number of potentially embarassing questions like that which would pertain to their personal lives...

7. Wonder what she thought

when * held a Ramadan dinner at the White House?
