Murrow's news broadcast on the radio was a sacred time in our house. My parents had it on and we had to be quiet. As we got older, we had to listen because we knew we might be asked about what was on it. That was really a good education for us in a lot of ways. It taught us not only to listen, but to evaluate what we thought about it, because we might be asked what we thought, and our opinions weren't discounted, although we could be asked why we held them.
