HUMILITY

ABC's David Brinkley, speaking to the Washington, D.C., meeting of the Radio-TV News Directors Assn. (quoted in the Wash. Journalism Review):

"I tend to place the human race into two categories: jour-nalists and everyone else. I am not much interested in anyone else... I'm unaccustomed to speaking to people who know as much as I do. Occasionally, I do speak¾ usually to business groups¾and it will be the varnish manufacturers of lower Michigan, who don't know a god-damn thing. Whatever I say to them¾if I say 'Today is Tuesday'¾that's news. They didn't know it. So it's very easy to talk to a group like that, because you can say anything, and they think it's wonderful because they didn't know it before... Talking to journalists, who know everything¾ that's their business¾is altogether different . . . "
