okay
i will i guess i will start and say that i keep up uh with current events
mostly from three or four areas
um-hum
and i'll tell you what they are and uh then you uh would you please uh tell me how you do it
sure
i think i keep up better with what's going on in the world from the newspaper but i usually am introduced to subjects by television
and then if something that struck your fancy then you pay attention more to that kind of topic then when you get the newspaper
exactly in more detail
um-hum um-hum
i also take uh Time magazine and i enjoy that a lot and uh i get a lot of uh i think pretty good detail there
and uh i'm pretty i'm pretty satisfied with i think those and some friends who are who are very knowledgeable
um-hum yes
and how how do you
well basically the same thing i i know uh my husband's favorite radio station in all the world is KRLD
he we wake up to KRLD we go to sleep at night to KRLD and i used to just really argue about that and battle that and i don't so much anymore because
i do want to keep up and know what's going on and
it helps i don't often uh have time to sit down and watch the evening news kind of thing but
if i'm around during the daytime and have a chance i'll switch on CNN
always have watched CNN ever since we
got the cable
yes
uh you know coverage that provided for that and have always enjoyed it and am glad to see them getting a little uh boost these days since the uh war a little more uh recognition and credibility
yes
yes
i've i uh
have access to Time and Newsweek and The Wall Street Journal all of which i
rely on more i think than what i get over network
TV news
yes
and like you you know knowledgeable friends i work for a fellow who is uh in the oil industry internationally
and travels a lot to third world countries and all around and i feel like a lot of times what we get from his contacts is far more valid
wonderful
then you know but that's only in a real specialized area you know that's not that's just political it's not the medical arena it's not technology particularly although sometimes it overlaps
of course
into those kinds of things but i don't think i would be satisfied if all i had was just television
no
you know the uh the newspapers i think
you know they uh i think a lot of the meat of what i get out out of the newspaper's not on the front page
i think that's right too well especially The Wall Street Journal
yeah yeah i uh
i have really enjoyed being able to have access to that the last couple of years it uh
don't you find though that it's hard to find time
yes
to yeah to the reading is The Wall Street Journal if i don't read it the day that it comes in then if they start piling up on me then i have to just forget about about it usually
um-hum um-hum
well and you know you just take a a newspaper just your your regular daily average big city newspaper
there's more information in one
than an entire month magazine you know monthly periodical
yes
and
a lot of times i'll just take the whole thing soon as i get it and i take out the sections i want trash the rest otherwise you like you say the the stack of paper is so large
really
it's unmanageable just in your home situation
it really is and especially if you're trying to
you know
save papers for recycling
um-hum
that's right yeah
just terrible job
but uh i think i enjoy uh Time and i i get Insight and i don't like that magazine very much
i i'm not familiar with that one
it looks like a little Time
um-hum um-hum
but it is not written as well as Time staff uh writers do
but i i like some of those magazines because they just choose certain subjects i guess
uh-huh
and deal with a
uh
well i'm a nonfiction oriented kind of person anyway oh i enjoy a good novel
but you know given the choice in the doctor's office when they're all lined up i'm much more apt to grab the
Time or Newsweek or US News and World Reports than i ever would People or
McCall's or although i've you know i read those kinds of things too occasionally and and and find things that are current and
well
updated but i don't know i just just my particular
predisposition i
i tend more the other way so i try not to ever find myself in a situation without something to read because my reading time comes in
yes
right
little snatches i have five kids
so by the time i get around to
actually reading i have you know i may have ten or fifteen minutes of slot
to read so
i guess you have five children well
uh-huh
well they're good kids
uh
oh well of course
and this you know this is another reason though i think that ah
makes me real aware and encouraging because i know there's always a a a tidbit of information that's going to come across some
i'm either gonna read it or i'm gonna hear it that they can turn right around and use in a report
exactly
so if i hear a statistic that's interesting or whatnot even just driving in the car i'll make a little note and uh
you know of where that came from and the time i heard it and whatnot so they can use that in a bibliography
well you are passing good information on to them aren't you
i hope so i hope so i think kids tend to watch news for the sensationalism
my kids love to watch the news but it's not always you know you wonder if it's for the right reason
yes
right
not just the gore
they've heard it though
yeah yeah but i think it's a good habit to
sure it is
to establish uh
it has been nice talking to you
thank you so much and uh
enjoyed it a great deal
i'll uh just be anxious to tell my daughter's friend that there's a nice lady out there
there really is it's beautiful
and that there's she's not falling off the face of the earth
it really is beautiful you will enjoy i know she will enjoy it
well my daughter hopes to come visit before too long so we're uh we're anxious to point that way sometime take care and have a good day
oh
good
thank you you too
bye-bye
