“Don't give a woman advice: one should never give a woman anything she can't wear in the evening”
Oscar Wilde
“Sometimes I've been to a party where no one spoke to me for a whole evening. The men, frightened by their wives or sweeties...the ladies would gang up in a corner and discuss my dangerous character.”
Marilyn Monroe
“She will certainly bring a fresh face to the program. But a woman serving as sole anchor on an evening network newscast is so long overdue that it can hardly be regarded as making a powerful statement. ... CBS had a chance to revolutionize the evening news by totally remaking the show. Instead, they are putting a new person into an old, boring format.”
Paul Levinson
“We received a complaint Monday evening. The man had escaped soon after the woman registered a case.”
Alok Kumar
“I used to think I would never see a woman anchor the network evening news alone in my lifetime. This was the last vestige of male dominance. She already accomplished the unthinkable...just by getting the job.”
Connie Chung
“There are times in the evening when there is just one or two women employees, no police officers available in the building. So if a suspect came in with a weapon or firearm, our employees are very vulnerable to that type of situation.”
Paul McCaffrey
“Nobody talked about women as successors [to male anchors] for ages. To have a solo female anchor of the evening news is a milestone, there's no question about it. ... It's crazy at this time in our history, but there it is.”
