I enjoyed reading a piece slated to appear in tommorrow's Minneapolis Star-Tribune headlined "You can go home again, and Tom Brokaw often does." Excerpt:
[Tom Brokaw] says he gets the grounding he needs to do his high-profile job from his Midwestern roots."It helps me do what I do when I sit in that big chair every night at 6:30 surrounded by all these monumental events that are going on around the world," he said.
"It really always helps keep the rest of my life in some perspective to know what's going on in these communities in the heartland and about the pace of life here and the kind of long view about what they want to do. They don't get hysterical about the day-to-day news as those of us who live in New York. ... They kind of reserve their judgment and take in lots of information before deciding or coming to a conclusion about something."
