Look, we’re [Detroit] the first to say we’ve got problems. But there’s something disturbing when American reporters keep deliciously recording our demise but nobody wants to do anything about it. We’re not your pity party. You want to chronicle us? We’ve been chronicled enough… But it’s time to untie Detroit. Because we may be a few steps behind the rest of the country, but we’re a few steps ahead of it too. And what’s happening to us may happen to you.Mitch Albom

Harry Truman had the first televised inauguration in 1949. I don’t know how many television sets there were in 1949. I know we didn’t have one yet. I think we got ours in 1951. My father used to sit in front of it and watch anything they put on. Some people still do, of course.Andy Rooney

I have never fooled around with my eyebrows. Susie [Rooney’s secrteary] fools around with my hair sometimes. To get ready to tape this piece for television, I comb my hair. But, if I do anything more, I look like someone else.‘ [Andy Answers His Mail]

that only answers one of our questions about his eyebrows. another question is who would win in an eyebrow fight between him and George Whipple The III? and another: do the caterpillar drapes match the carpet? and one not related to his brows: does Susie make house calls?
