We never hear personal stories about his, his wife, or his children. I have come to admire this man even more now.
I am disappointed in how many people say such terrible things about Barbara Walters. She, like most other people, has always said or done things I haven't liked, but her contributions over the years to even make possible the strides women have made in broadcasting will never be forgotten, at least by me. There are things I vehemently dislike about every one of the View's hosts, and I think Barbara deserves better.
