You know, that's what made me admire Peter Jennings. I was in college -- in journalism school, in fact, and walking through the newsroom -- when the news broke of the Challenger shuttle disaster. The second I got out of class, I ran home and turned on the TV. Peter Jennings rolled his sleeves up and did something like 13 hours nonstop on air, and he didn't lose it once, although you could see his eyes welling up many times.

Times like this I'm glad I just write.
