““Had I made the right decision to give up law school—the “safe” choice—to pursue my passion—a career in broadcast journalism? Would I be stuck making $ 15,000 a year for the rest of my career? Would my father, who had landed on these shores as an Italian immigrant with $ 20 in his pocket after World War II, have been proud of my decision, or would the former prisoner of war have felt that his son was squandering an opportunity to make it in America?””

Naturally, I was both proud and elated although too modest to say so, but broadcast journalism recovered with alacrity, my contract wasn't renewed, and the incident was forgotten.” quote by Nicholas von Hoffman](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/4d8/nicholas-von-hoffman-32722_alacrity_don-hewitt-60-minutes-exec-producer-told_603904.jpg)
