End of news conference STORYLINE: Tropical Storm Isaac barely stirred Florida Keys residents on Sunday, while the US Gulf Coast prepared for the possibility of a full-blown hurricane by the time it makes landfall there. Isaac was expected to cross the Keys by late Sunday - then turn northwest and strike as a Category 2 hurricane somewhere between New Orleans and the Florida Panhandle on Wednesday, the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The National Hurricane Centre issued a hurricane warning for a large swath of the northern Gulf Coast from east of Morgan City, Louisiana to Destin, Florida, which includes New Orleans. A Category 2 hurricane has sustained winds of between 96 and 110 mph (154 to 177 kph). There were scattered power outages from Key West to Fort Lauderdale affecting more than eight-thousand customers, and flooding occurred in low-lying areas but no serious damage was reported. In Key West, along famed Duval Street, many stores, bars and restaurants closed, the cigar rollers and palm readers packed up, and just a handful of bars remained open. But that didn't stop the Evans family and their friends celebrating a 50th birthday at the famous Sloppy Joe's Bar. Isaac is expected to draw significant strength from the warm, open waters of the Gulf of Mexico, but there remained much uncertainty about its path. The Gulf Coast hasn't been hit by a hurricane since 2008, when Dolly, Ike and Gustav all struck the region. Hurricane centre forecasters are uncertain of the storm's path because two of their best computer models now predict different paths. One model has Isaac going well west and the other well east. "Anytime you don't get any major impact from a tropical cyclone, you're dodging a bullet," said Bill South, a National Weather Service senior meteorologist. Florida Panhandle residents stocked up on water and gasoline on Sunday, and residents were boarding up properties in Perdido Beach. "We're just going to pretty much ride it out until afterwards and see how everything is going to go," said one man. Meanwhile, in Mississippi, officials were drafting an emergency declaration that the governor could sign as early as Sunday. Evacuations had not yet been ordered but were likely, especially in areas vulnerable to storm surge, said Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant. "The major concerns that we have now are high winds, heavy rains and flooding in the potential storm surge areas and low lying areas along the Mississippi Gulf coast," said Bryant.

FS23 WH TRUMP FL TRAVEL MTRL POOL 3 2050 FOX POOL PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES DONALD TRUMP DELIVERS REMARKS AT MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN VICTORY RALLY IN PENSACOLA, FLORIDA. [20:54:28] Enough already enough coming back, a lot of them coming back. [20:55:10] They're coming back our chips are coming back fast we have not only achieved energy independence. We've done it while protecting our pristine environment the environment is very important. I said last night. We want the cleanest water, we want the cleanest air. We want things you know carbon emissions and now to 35 year low. And we're not in the Paris accord we don't feel like spending trillions of dollars and destroying our business out of Paris, not so well. [20:55:47] I recently signed an order placing a moratorium on offshore drilling right off the coast of Florida, your governor asked for your two senators to tell you what rick scott Mako Where's Marco is here someplace and Rick Scott, they asked for it. They all wanted it, and we got it under my leadership we achieved the most secure border in US history, and we are finishing the wall, with nearly 400 miles already built and this is the wall they want it is the wall the Border Patrol. And we now have just about the safer southern border we've ever had, [20:56:27] but we'll be finished very soon with the wall. And by the way, Mexico is paying for the wall just so you understand you know they like just say, and I made one mistake I should have said we will never ever build a wall then the democrats would have said, oh no we want a wall. But we got it done we got it done that was not easy. That was a tough one, we had that party look, we built the military we did money coming in from military. But the wall. They didn't want to give us 10 cents, and it's one of the biggest projects that we've ever built in this country. That is exactly what Border Patrol wanted. [20:57:07] I said how about concrete slab No sir, we have to be able to see through. How about concrete something else it's like much cheaper, though, so we need steel concrete and rebar I said, Oh, that's great. Thank you very much, because in every spike we have concrete, and we have very powerful rebar, but we got the, it's going to be done very soon and it has given us it especially during the pandemic when we really needed, it's given us the safest border, we've had in many many many decades. And people can come into our country, and we want them to come into our country, but we want them to come in, legally, [20:57:44] and we want them to come in through merit. We want people that can help our country. Last night Joe Biden vowed that his immigration policy will be catch and release he thinks it's great you catch a criminal murderer rapist you catch the criminal and you release the criminal into our country. And you say in four years you have to be back for a court case right but they never came back. We had an argument it turned out to be really. He said, and then they come back I don't know what he was thinking, [20:58:20] I don't, I don't think he had a clue. He said that they come back and they go to trial. Isn't it wonderful no congressman not too wonderful right. Chad should release, not easy. I ended it, because what happened is nobody ever came back. I said last night only people with an extremely low IQ came back. Did he come back. Why would they come back, they're free in our country. So we ended that and we ended plenty of other things like that. In other words, he wants, totally open borders, as the democrats do. And if you have open borders. If you don't have a border. You don't have a country you no longer have a country. It's the most radical immigration proposal in American history. Perhaps anywhere in the world. Other countries or borders we fight for other countries to help them with their border, and then we don't protect our own border. [20:59:04] No, it's not working that way it doesn't work that way anymore. Number one, we're letting other countries fight for their own borders, which is also good if Joe and Kamala are elected, it will trigger a tsunami of illegal immigration, the likes of which you've never seen millions will come from scores of countries all over the world to take advantage of us, no community in the United States will be spared to serve his donors, by the last night pledge mass amnesty. [20:59:39] Within the first 100 days he wants to get mass amnesty. 10s of millions of people. He wants to give priority to illegal aliens, my priority is to American workers. I do America's great citizens. The American people will decide this election. It's the most important election we've ever had in this country, and you know, because of what happened four years ago, I used to be torn, I said well that was so big it was so important. [21:00:15] This is a more important election. And remember again because I never say it I don't say it enough Supreme Court. Supreme Court and judges, we will have approved over 300 judges by the end of my first term a record federal judge, including Court of Appeal judges. And three, Supreme Court justices and we'll have hopefully on Monday, Amy, Tony. Barrett. Amy Coney. A she's popular, people love her. [21:00:56] She did fantastically, they were trying today hit her. How bad did comma look going against Dave. Right. By the way, Bobby Bowden Arizona. Okay. He beat. He beat the plugins that I did it because I want to vote for Trump is 91 What a great coach. Thank you, Bobby. I'm in your territory Bobby I want to say thank you very much no Bobby bad so he and he was really a hell of a coach [21:01:28] he went to Lego, he went like 340 games he went to national championships. But, you know, I didn't really know, but he said no, he had it he was very ill. And he beat it. And he said, The thing that makes me happiest, because I want to vote on November 3 for President Trump How about that Bobby. Thank you, Bobby. Tough guy, great guy great coach we invested $2.5 trillion in the US military, including $1.5 billion in Tyndall Air Force Base, right after Hurricane Michael [21:02:03] That was a big deal I that was a deal with your governor, and your governor wanted to be pleased because you know what I was gonna do I had a great idea because it's a very big and it's right on the water. And I said, you know, being a developer I said you know this land for an airplane, the way we make them today they go so quick you could be over this area like in about two minutes. What we'll do is we'll sell this to the developers for billions right right on the water. Right on the ocean right, we'll sell it for billions of dollars you don't need this go to location because it was wiped out. And we'll build inward a little bit we'll buy some land for two sets. And we'll build a new beautiful airport because it was really wiped out by Michael I think it was by Michael Wright. [21:02:44] And you Governor didn't like that idea. He wasn't thrilled. I said, Look, this is a great thing we could make a fortune. No, I don't like it. So I said right back with it. I then visited a general and a colonel and we had all sorts of people, and they all wanted to be there so we rebuild it. And now it's thriving again right it's thriving again. No, we kill the leader of ISIS al Baghdadi had been looking for. [21:03:15] We took out the mass murder of American troops and many other people, solemate is dead. Bad bad guy. I withdrew from the last administration's disastrous Iran nuclear deal. They paid 100 and $50 billion for nothing. They then gave 1.8 billion in cash, cash 1.8 billion to see what that looks like. I recognized the true capital of Israel, and opened the American Embassy. [21:03:53] And instead of never ending wars, we are forging peace in the Middle East. Did you see what happened today, right, Sudan, another country that just came into the deal. Peace. This is peace in the Middle East without blood all over the says. It turns out I'm the candidate of peace, do you believe it everybody said Trump will be. Remember we're gonna go into war with North Korea whatever happens, we get along I get along. [21:04:24] I get along with him. He's a little different and that's okay I guess I am too. But President Obama said the biggest single problem The country has this is when I first took office, sitting down the two chairs yellow chairs sitting down. The biggest problem so what's the biggest problem he said North Korea. And he felt we're gonna go to war North Korea. In the meantime wins the war. Right. Where's the war. And it's just sort of all gonna work in, you know, I said, Did you ever call him. No, but actually they did they wanted to meet and they couldn't get a meeting and we bet as you know and we just look, [21:05:03] I don't say what's going to ultimately happen but that was three and a half years ago, and I have a feeling it's gonna work out just fine. Biden is a candidate of endless war. And needless death. I did more in 47 months than sleepy Joe Biden did and 47 years about for republicans is a vote for Safe Communities great jobs, and a limitless future for all Americans, a vote for republicans is a vote for the American dream, not the American nightmare. Someday, I'd love to be able to make a speech where there are no cameras. [21:05:48] I could just speak to just relax. Thinking niceties you have a lot of fun. Because if they ever catch you make it even the slightest mistake it's headlines headlines all over the world. And I said one thing the other day I said, suburban women. Please love me, please. Because you see suburban women. I have saved to suburbia I've gotten rid of the worst regulation know [21:06:20] but I said that I said kiddingly in sarcastically suburban women Please love me look I've gotten rid of the worst regulation. It's a terrible thing what they want to do to suburbia. You're gonna have crime you're gonna have low income housing right next to a beautiful house. It's that good. And they said to me and a question from a fake news organization. Why are you begging suburban women to love you, I said. [21:07:00] I said, I'm really not you know these are bad people okay is about. But suburban women should love me I'm the greatest thing that ever happened to them, because I'm saving suburbia. And you know these radical crazy anarchists you know the next thing they hit they've said that they'd like to hit suburbia. With me they're not hitting suburbia they won't even get close to your house, [21:07:23] They won't get close to your community but with sleepy Joe suburbia will be in a you know who he wants to put in charge overlooking this whole thing. Cory Booker. Cory Booker will be in charge of your regulation. So suburban women I think you have to love me. But I love you, over the next four years we will make America into the manufacturing superpower of the world. And we will end our reliance on China, once it's already started. We will hire more police increased penalties for assaults or law enforcement, do we love our police Yes, [21:08:05] I have the endorsement of almost every police organization in the country, including New York's finest and they've never done it before, they've never done it before. I have Chicago police Florida sheriff's those Florida sheriff's a lot of. There are a lot of them here tonight. Goes Florida sheriff's and tough they know what they're doing, Texas, Oklahoma, everybody. Remember the other debaters which debate Did you like more I thought they were both good, which did you like more the first one second. Well there's two ways of doing it the tough way or the nicer way less two ways of doing. [21:08:45] But I said to him, I said let me ask you to give me one name of one law enforcement group that didn't do it she couldn't do that. I said, say the words law and order Joe. Just say the words. I won't do that, say the words your lawn or a window right he wouldn't. So that's what you want as your President, you're not going to have a country for long, okay remember that we will ban deadly sanctuary cities we will uphold religious liberty free speech, the right to life and the right to keep and bear arms. [21:09:25] We will always stand with the people of Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and their righteous struggle for freedom. We will stand with the people of Colombia we're working very closely with them in their fight against the narco terrorists. We will strike down terrorists to threaten our citizens, and we will keep America, out of endless foreign war. [21:09:56] And when I said we rebuilt our military $2.5 trillion or made in the USA. We have the greatest equipment in the history of any military. We are the pride of the world in a sense we are. If you look at Russia, if you look at China, everybody's envious we have the best rockets and missiles our nuclear is now fixed and ready and hope to god you never have to use it. And the only way you will never have to use it, is when you have it and it's in great shape, great shape. [21:10:32] Oh my god we never have to use it. We have the super duper missiles I call them right the super duper is it go seven times as fast as the ones we had that now called Old Fashioned. Right. We have equipment that nobody's ever had before. No, no country has ever had what we have we have the F 35, we have brand new, which is super stealth right. I asked the pilots, why do they like displayed well sir the enemy can't see it I said that sounds good to me what do I know, [21:11:07] but we have new tankers, we have new everything we have the greatest new military, we've ever had. And you know what let's stay out of the wars but we'll build it up stronger and better, and we will have peace through strength. Now we have a missile though it's hypersonic it's called that we have a missile, so fast, you can't see it, you can't shoot it you can't do anything with it. And frankly, another group stole our plans during the Obama administration, [21:11:43] they also have one, but ours is even faster. Ours is even more powerful, and we have things that nobody can even come close to. So, we are the envy of the world in that way. And again, we never get to use it, because when you have it you don't have to use it when you don't have it. That's when you need it. And that's never going to be our position, it's never going to be our position. We will never let that happen in our country. You know when I first came in a general set to me, highly overrated general have to be honest with you. [21:12:20] He said, Sir, we don't have ammunition. I said no president should ever hear that again. And you know what, no president should ever go through what this President went through in this. They spied on our campaign, and they got it was treason at the highest level. Let's see what happens. But they spied in our campaign and they got caught, no president should ever have to go through that again, we will end surprise medical billing require price transparency already done further reduce the cost of prescription drugs as favored nations down, 80% 70%, a day [21:13:06] Big pharma is not happy with me, and we will always protect patients with pre existing conditions. We will land the first woman on the moon and the United States will be the first nation to land, an astronaut on Mars. And NASA is now the preeminent Space Center in the world by far and when I took over four years ago. It was a mess. It was a mess. A lot of things were the ISIS Caliphate was all over the place. We've destroyed 100% of the ISIS caliphate. [21:13:45] We will stop the radical indoctrination of our students and restore patriotic education to ours. We will teach our children to love our country honor our history, and always respect our great American flag. And we will live by the timeless words of our national motto. In God we trust. For years, you had a president who apologized to him. What happened Look, he would have. [21:14:26] This was like the apology to remember when he went to all these countries, and he would apologize for us for America. We don't need anybody apologizing for us. But you had a, you had a president who apologized for America now you have a president who is standing up for America and standing up for the great state of Florida. I have gone into battle for you, each day over the last four years has it been pleasant at all cases, people say How the hell do you do it. I do it because I love this country, because we're making changes like nobody has any idea [21:15:10] On election day to continue our movement. I am going to rely on you get out and vote, we cannot take our vote early bring your friends, your family, your neighbors your co workers even grab your boss and say come up bossy of government that was the most important election we've ever had. I really believe because you have a radical left group can do very bad government. The most important election we've ever had. I really believe because you have a radical left group that can do very bad things you look at Venezuela you look at other countries. This is just a massively large version of that if you have the wrong people and together we are going to make history once again that was history, [21:15:48] Remember that four years ago, look at you wanted evening that was right. Donald Trump has won the state of Florida. Remember, Donald Trump is won the state of Alabama. Right after County, Georgia, we won and we won, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, right up that coast we went. [21:16:18] And then we won Michigan. Louis Louisiana. We won Louisiana by a lot, right. They love Louisiana, I love Louisiana to talking about helping them with hurricanes right from Tampa to Tallahassee from Jacksonville to Fort Lauderdale, and from Orlando to right here in Pensacola, we stand on the shoulders of red blooded American patriots who poured out their heart sweat and soul to secure our liberty and defend our freedom. [21:16:58] So important, we inherit the legacy of American heroes who cross the oceans blaze the trails settle the continent tame the wilderness laid down the railroads dug out the Panama Canal raised up the great skyscrapers, won two world wars defeated fascism and communism. And from here. It is beautiful, gorgeous state that I love so much landed, our brave American astronauts on the face of the moon. [21:17:35] We made America into the single greatest nation in the history of the world, and the best is yet to come. Somebody to raise your taxes because they got to raise your taxes and that's going to be proud citizens like you helped build this country, and together we are taking back our country. We are returning power to you the American people. [21:18:09] With your help, your devotion and your drive. We are going to keep on working. We are going to keep on fighting, and we are going to keep on winning, winning way. We are one movement, one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God, and together with the incredible people of Florida. We have made America powerful again. We have made America wealthy again stock market. [21:18:47] We have made America strong again our military. We have made America proud again. We have made America safe again. And we will make America great again. Thank you, Florida. Thank you, Alabama. Thank you. [END]

CNN OFF AIR FTG OF THE LARRY KING SHOW, W/ ABC RADIO COMMENTATOR AND LEGEND PAUL HARVEY. PAUL HARVEY, RADIO LEGEND: Hello, Americans. I'm Paul Harvey. LARRY KING, CNN HOST: Yes, he's here, the one and only. Conservative in his views, distinctive in his voice, titanic in his influence, an 84-year-old living legend of radio. After seven decades on the air, he's America's most listened-to broadcaster. One of the highest paid, too. Paul Harvey for the hour with your calls next on LARRY KING LIVE. HARVEY: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) KING: It's a great pleasure to welcome him back. It's been since 1991 his last appearance. So every decade or so we have him back. Paul Harvey, the broadcasting legend, the most listened-to broadcaster in radio ever. Twenty-four million listeners weekly with that unique blend of news and views. He's the largest one-man network in the world, more than 1,200 radio stations carry "Paul Harvey News" and "The Rest of the Story" and 400 armed forces network stations and he's syndicated in 300 newspapers. And indeed at the request of the astronauts, "Paul Harvey News" has been transmitted to international space station by NASA and ABC Radio Networks. How does all this make you feel? HARVEY: I don't think in terms of those numbers, Larry, nor do you. (UNINTELLIGIBLE) KING: We just go on, right? Yes, that's true. First and foremost, your health. Your voice went -- tell us what happened. HARVEY: Oh, my. It was a frightening while and a long several months. The voice disappeared. We later learning that a virus had settled itself in one of the vocal chords or in the muscle adjacent to the vocal chord. But, after a lot of prayer and good fortune, we got in contact with one of those wonderful physicians, an ortolarengologist, to whom it was no mystery at all. Works in the opera building, by the way, in Chicago, where he takes care of the opera stars coming and going. KING: What did he do for you? HARVEY: With a slight surgical procedure, he inserted a alongside the muscle, a tiny little piece of plastic, about the size of your little fingernail, to reinforce that muscle until it could regain its strength, until the viral infection had subsided. Then, he said, you can take it out if you want to or leave it in. It won't trouble you. It was a 45-minute in-and-out procedure after all those agonizing months. KING: Does your voice come back that day? HARVEY: Instantly. Oh, my goodness, what a -- I spent a lot of time on my knees that night, Larry. KING: What was it like to not have that voice? HARVEY: Oh... KING: That voice? HARVEY: How can I find the words to answer that question? Since I was 14, that voice has been my vocation, my avocation. It's been my life. KING: Did you think you had -- did you think you had had it, that you might have had to retire? HARVEY: I had to consider that possibility. So I spent a great deal of time feeling sorry for myself, and then settled down at the insistence of my wife and son to start making some notes for a book that I had postponed writing. First, I read 25 and a half books -- 25 and a third books. That third book, by the way, was on broadcasting. I couldn't finish that book because it was so full of all those words that I consider inappropriate and offensive. So I spent my time as fruitfully as I possibly could. KING: One of the kindest things was they called me and asked me to sit in for a week and I couldn't do it because of time limitations, but that was an honor to be asked, just to be asked to sit in for "Paul Harvey News." HARVEY: Well, I know if my wife had anything to do with that request you were the first choice, Larry. KING: Now less than a month after coming back, 9/11 hits. Where were you that morning? HARVEY: I did my regular morning broadcast and I think we saw the first pictures of the planes flying into the towers about 14 minutes after I signed off. So I spent the rest of the morning preparing the noon broadcast with what piecemeal material was incoming. KING: Was that the toughest broadcast? HARVEY: Oh, no. KING: No? HARVEY: No. You see, for one thing, I'm separated from New York by a few miles. Chicago has been home base for most of my professional life. I understand the proximity of that event having influenced our New York-based commentators and probably based there, I would have been similarly influenced. But I guess, from a distance, then and in the days thereafter, I didn't have to worry about my wife or my husband every day being in the next area of a terrorist target. I didn't have to think about people I loved having to go through those tunnels every morning. I didn't have to be preoccupied with that desolate emptiness against the New York sky. I think I could be, not indifferent, but a little less -- a little more objective. KING: No fear for something happening in Chicago? HARVEY: Not really. There wasn't time in those agonizing hours for fear. KING: It has changed all of us. This world has changed. HARVEY: It has, indeed. KING: How has it changed Paul Harvey? HARVEY: It has made him aware that, in these wars, there are no civilians anymore. It bothers me to hear of our planners' deference to the civilian population of such-and-such a target area. There are no civilians anymore anywhere in the world. Certainly, the Middle East demonstrates that every day, almost every hour of every day. Maybe we'll have fewer wars. Maybe we'll find some more civilized means of resolving inter-nation differences if the world population can come to accept the fact that there is no hiding place. KING: You mean, the threat of it all diminishes the threat of it all? HARVEY: If that's not the way to bet, that's the way to pray. KING: Are we going to war in Iraq? HARVEY: I have no insight. It isn't available to everybody these days. I think our Secretary of State is going to make a very convincing case to the United Nations next Wednesday. I think it's the United Nations that's on trial now, not us. KING: You've lived through wars, right? I mean, you've lived through a few of them. HARVEY: Well, as a matter of fact, I can remember in the 1930s, when the United Nations was called the League of Nations until it ignored the intrusion of Japan into Manchuria and China, until it ignored the intrusion of Italy into Ethiopia, until it failed to recognize Hitler for what he was, publicly tearing up the Versailles Treaty. And, so, the League of Nations, impotent, disappeared. KING: How has George W. Bush impressed you? HARVEY: Very favorably. KING: Surprisingly at all? HARVEY: The rapidity of his growth has. I knew him before he was governor of Texas, so, yes. Yes. Yes, I've been a little surprised. What a magnificent team he has. KING: Powell, Rumsfeld, Cheney and the gang. HARVEY: I was sharing the platform very often when General Powell was no longer Head of the Joint Chiefs. He was much in demand as a public speaker. Well, you know how you and I encounter each other backstage rather frequently. Well, I was encountering him rather frequently. I was an admirer and before many meetings, I was a very fond of this man and his wife. One day, I presumed to take him aside and I said, "General, both political parties are going to court you ferociously. Will you please make one promise for me -- just one promise -- that if anybody suggests the vice presidency, I want you to remember a former general of SAC, Curtis Lemay (ph), who was one of the most popular warriors in American history who said yes to the vice presidency and disappeared and was never heard from again." He said, "I promise to remember." KING: He did. HARVEY: And he did. I think in the last few weeks, he must wished that Paul Harvey had also exacted a promise that would include Secretary of State. KING: Paul Harry is our guest. We'll be taking calls for Paul at the bottom of the hour. Lots to talk with him about. We'll be back with the rest of this story right after this. Don't go away. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: Don't let noisy news distress you. Don't let the headline writers rain on your parade. My goodness, there's resiliency in this country. We've not yet begun to use -- as Mark Twain has said to have said of the music of (UNINTELLIGIBLE) , "It's Not Nearly so Bad as it Sounds." Paul Harvey, good day. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: I don't know, I can't make -- I can't make friends with all that technology. My son doesn't understand, either. (SINGING) HARVEY: Half a minute. Hello, Americans, this is Paul Harvey. Stand by for news. (END VIDEO CLIP) KING: What is that, what are you doing there? You're tuning your voice? HARVEY: I started that with a school teacher in Central High School when I was 14 and starting my first job at KVOO, limbering up the vocal cords, breathing from the diaphragm, and it's a habit that's with me to this day. KING: Who is Paul Harvey? Is he a newsman? Is he a personality? Is he a raconteur? Is he a storyteller? Is he a pundit? Is he a commercial? Is he a salesman? HARVEY: He's all of those things, and kind of a professional parade-watcher, who just can't wait to get up every morning. Honestly, Larry, at 1:30 A.M., your West Coast time, and rush down to the teletypes and the telephones to see what wonderful things, hundreds of millions of heroic people have been doing overnight. KING: And why does he like so much telling us? HARVEY: Probably, he's some of an exhibitionist. But, also, when we pray for guidance, and doors continue to open instead of close, a person comes to think of his job as an obligation. To enlighten and inform. KING: So you're all of the above. HARVEY: Probably some of each. KING: What keeps you, if there's a comparison, although he didn't have your personality, the late Gabriel Heater was someone who in World War II kept Americans going by "God there's good news tonight. HARVEY: He did. KING: What keeps you up, you are basically optimistic. HARVEY: Doesn't an historian have to be, Larry? KING: No, I would say, look at the world. Pessimism makes more sense. HARVEY: No. Tomorrow always has been better than today, and it always will be. There is no time in history that Larry King would choose over this one as a time in which to live. KING: Look at all the terrible things you see and have to report on. War and floods and hurricanes. HARVEY: Well, noise makes news. We've had newspapers in this country, I can think of one in particular, which tried to print just good news and it only lasted 14 weeks. It was in Sacramento, California as a matter of fact. People want to be frightened and it's a shame. I think we've become over-newsed for that reason. KING: You think we should return to the draft? HARVEY: I certainly hope we won't think of future wars in terms of marching boys with bayonets. Those weapons have lost our last three wars. KING: You turned against the Vietnam War, did you not? HARVEY: Yes, I did. KING: What caused that? HARVEY: Several factors. I had always been reared with the old MacArthur feeling that the only excuse for getting into a war is to win it. The only justification for war is to win it. And then, one day, I realized that in spite of the expenditure of all of our gold and all of that blood, in Vietnam and in Korea, the most we were able to deliver was a stalemate on the 50 yard line. We'd paid much too high a price for that. And it was then that I suggested that we drive it or park it. KING: Let's touch some other bases. I know a lot of people want to talk to you and we will be taking calls for Paul Harvey. Changes in radio, since you began, many. What do you make of, overall, radio today? HARVEY: Well, of course, I look at it from a news perspective, and I think -- almost every place I go, Larry, there are the little groups backstage, you're familiar with them, and one of the first questions they always want to ask, these news people in Cocamo and Kalamazoo is a paraphrase on the question -- how can we do our jobs better? I think we're aware that we overthrew the United States government just a little more decade ago for better or worse. They're aware of the significance of that awesome weapon we wield. I think this is wholesome. When I was growing up in the old rip-and-read days of radio, we had nothing like that awareness of our responsibility. My, goodness. Today, news people are more conscientious, they're smarter and more capable by far than any of any of their predecessors. KING: The public is well served by American radio? HARVEY: Over served at the moment. And I don't know what to do about that. KING: We'll be right back with more of Paul Harvey, your phone calls in a little while, don't go away. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: Did you hear about the little grade school fellow in Northern Italy? Somebody stole the little lad's lunch. He had brought to school a sack lunch, sandwich, fruit, cookies. Somebody stole it, stole his lunch and two pencils. Well, the little fellow went to the telephone and -- he dialed 911. Of course, police converged, and listened to his tearful appeal. Calmed him down. While they were there, a classmate confessed and returned the stolen goods. Most of it, the sandwich had -- was minus a bite or two. Now, page two. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) KING: I've said this out of his presence, I'll say it in his presence -- it's impossible to have Paul Harvey on your radio to punch the button. You cannot have Paul Harvey on the radio and hit another station. That's how magnetic you are. HARVEY: Oh, my goodness. KING: A top advertising man said about you, "In the advertising business, Paul Harvey is a phenomena. In a league of his own. The only one compared to him would be Oprah." HARVEY: My, goodness. Oh. KING: Does it -- no one sells products like you. Does it diminish the newscaster to pitch a product? HARVEY: I'm going to have to let the listeners judge that for themselves. I would presume to tell them how they should respond. But to me, my, goodness, so frequently, some of the best news that's included in my broadcast is within the body of the commercial. That there really is now a response for such-and-such an illness, that there really is a better way to do this or to do that, that there really is a wonderful way to extend human life and alleviate pain. KING: You just signed a ten-year contract, is that right? HARVEY: Yes. KING: Ten years. You're 84. HARVEY: I am? KING: Are you? HARVEY: I stopped counting at 55. KING: Do you expect to fulfill that contract? HARVEY: Oh, yes. Unless I can find something that's more fun than what I'm doing now, and I certainly haven't been able to find that. KING: But, in other words, you have no desire to ever hang it up. HARVEY: Larry, I've got a chance to hang it up, you know, just not many months ago when I was sidelined. No, oh, I'd hate to have to get up every morning and play golf the way I play golf. KING: What do you make of what's happened to the culture? We seem to be a culture of anything goes. HARVEY: Excesses ultimately, eventually, are their own undoing and that keeps me hopeful. KING: That things will turn? Do you -- do you watch -- do you like reality television? Do you watch television at night? HARVEY: My bedtime is so early, I don't get to see most of the programs, but the few that I particularly enjoy, the family tapes so that I can hear them subsequently. But, no, I'm not addicted to a regimen of sitting by the set. KING: We're going to take a lot of calls for you, Paul, so a couple of other things I want to get in. How did you come up with the pause before "good day"? HARVEY: I'm asked that question a lot and I'm not even aware of it. I'm just pausing between what I'm saying and what I'm thinking about saying. KING: But when you finish, that had to be a thought of... HARVEY: Not really. KING: No? HARVEY: Well, maybe I wasn't reading the clock as accurately as you do and I'd wait for the secondhand to get around to where it belonged and finished with good day. KING: You write all your own copy, right? HARVEY: Yes. KING: And this is a particular talent of yours. Did you start as a writer? HARVEY: No. KING: You were a broadcaster who wrote rather than... HARVEY: I was rip-and-read in the early days, just tear it off the AP machine. KING: You write all your own commercials, too, right? HARVEY: Yes. KING: And this apparent, not nervousness, this thing you go through before you go on and the like, are you -- for example, you're on radio. Early in the morning, right, your first newscast is what time? That you... HARVEY: It goes out of when I'm in Chicago, it goes out of there at 6:30 Chicago time. KING: Why are you wearing a shirt and tie? HARVEY: I've never been asked that. Nor have I ever asked myself. KING: You're dressing up for radio, Paul. HARVEY: Now I'm going to think about it. KING: OK. You can do it in a t-shirt. You could do it in an open collar. HARVEY: Really? (LAUGHTER) KING: You come from that... HARVEY: I want to think about that. KING: So everybody when you started worked up in radio wore a shirt and tie and jacket everyday, right? HARVEY: Yes. Yes, I -- I can't explain why. But I do know that the times that I try to go casual, something is sacrificed. And I can't... KING: Really? HARVEY: ... I can't put my finger on it. KING: You're not as good? HARVEY: I don't know whether that's the word or not, but I'm -- I -- something is -- something is missing. And the engineers tell me this, not just myself. KING: Really? HARVEY: Yes. I had Bob Benninghoff (ph), a longtime engineer, good gracious, 50 years an engineer on "Paul Harvey News." He took me aside on one day and said, You're beginning to sound as casual as you dress. KING: That did it. We'll be right back with your calls for Paul Harvey. You're watching LARRY KING LIVE. Tomorrow night, the cast of a show you would like, "Will & Grace." Don't go away. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: Now, for what it's worth, in Hartford, Connecticut, the chief of police missed a speaking engagement at the local school because he couldn't find the entrance. That's what he says. That he walked around the Hartford school building but could not find an entrance, so he left. Paul Jose Smith suggests any criminals planning to relocate might want to try Hartford. Paul Harvey, good day. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) KING: We're back with Paul Harvey, and as we come back, for the benefit of our viewers, we see a street, looks like Chicago. Paul Harvey Drive. Where is that? HARVEY: Oh, my goodness. It's right at the corner of the River and Michigan Avenue. KING: Paul Harvey Drive, you made it, man! Let's go to calls for Mr. Harvey. Dayton, Texas, hello. CALLER: Hi there. Hi, Mr. Harvey. Hi, Larry. KING: Hi. CALLER: If and when we go to war with Iraq, how would you cover it? HARVEY: How would I cover it? KING: Well, he'd just report every day on the happenings, right? You don't go out anymore, do you? HARVEY: Oh, my, no. I think I -- we have now so many capable people on the war fronts that one from a distance gets a more objective point of view. I would probably cover it from my comfortable accommodations in Chicago. KING: In your old days, you covered things. HARVEY: Oh, yes, I used to chase floods and fires and wars. KING: Do you ever miss the zone, being at the scene? I mean, you're so comfortable now, you've got all you'll ever need, you've got the desk and the broadcast. You ever say, I'd like to be there? HARVEY: Not really, Larry. The world has become an uglier place. And the myopia imposed by your presence in a military situation is frustrating for me. On the war front, you're told pretty much what to say and where to go. KING: Blythewood, South Carolina, hello. CALLER: Hello, Mr. Harvey. HARVEY: Hello. CALLER: I just want to know, are you still doing your broadcast on the Armed Forces Network to the soldiers overseas? HARVEY: Yes, indeed, and thank you for asking. And in addition to that, as Larry mentioned a little earlier, we've, as of recent weeks, patched a broadcast into space. KING: How does that make you feel? HARVEY: Humble. KING: Yes, astronauts asked for you. Tampa, Florida, hello. CALLER: Yes, Larry, my question for Paul Harvey is, with 120 million people in the United States classified as overweight and half of all children suffering from obesity, what do you feel, Mr. Harvey, needs to be done in order to help this generation and future generations when it comes to the problem of obesity, not only in our children but people of all ages? KING: Now, there's a question out of left field. HARVEY: I think he's hit the nail on the head, too, Larry, because it is an area of public and private health which has not been receiving public attention. This individual sounds sufficiently informed and sufficiently animated so that he's already doing what I think we can best do, just spread the gospel of discipline. KING: Because that's simply, you know, politicians don't talk about it when they discuss great health programs, no one discusses overweight. HARVEY: Well, there's nothing to sell. KING: Well, it's a diabetic causes and the like. It's major American health problem. HARVEY: It is. If somebody would come out with a cure for it that would have a price tag on it, then we'd all get interested. KING: Bogalusa, Louisiana, hello. CALLER: Hello, Larry. KING: Hi. CALLER: My question for Mr. Harvey is, he has stories from so many places, a lot of them people have never heard of. How much research does he have to do every day to prepare? KING: Yes. HARVEY: Well, it requires that I get to work rather early, but I come up to my office in the pre-dawn dark and start sorting the United Press and the Associated Press and the Reuters, wires and our ABC stringers all over the world. We have about 600 pairs of eyes now scattered around the world who are constantly reporting the sort of thing that they know Paul Harvey likes to include. So I can't claim credit for those sources, except for the sorting process. When I try to select from tens of thousands of possibilities, those stories which I think you needed to know and those stories which I think you want to know, and each broadcast is supposed to be a combination of those. KING: And who does the rest of the story? HARVEY: Young Paul writes all of the rest of the story -- stories -- and artfully, I might say. KING: How long you've been doing that, now? HARVEY: Let's see. He decided that the rest of the story was a good idea. We both decided that Paul Harvey didn't have the time to take on anything else, anything extracurricular. He agreed that he would do the writing, maybe he's sorry... KING: There's little Paul on the screen now. And bigger Paul. HARVEY: Yes. Even at the cost of stepping aside from a very important concert piano career. And he has since grown into that responsibility. He's an infinitely finer writer than his dad ever was. KING: But that is one great idea, the rest of the story, a great idea. HARVEY: Bill Stern, as you may remember, got caught careless with the truth. Young Paul has been so scrupulous. He has to have two independent sources for anything that he uses, and in controversial subjects, at least three. KING: Albuquerque, New Mexico, for Paul Harvey, hello. CALLER: Hi, Larry. KING: Hi. CALLER: Hi, Mr. Harvey. HARVEY: Good afternoon, good evening, or good morning, whichever it is in Albuquerque. CALLER: My -- I watched you for many, many years. HARVEY: Thank you. CALLER: And my question is, years ago, in the 1960s, I used to watch you on television. You had a religious program. That made my day. And I was wondering why that stopped and if you'd ever consider doing it again. HARVEY: Oh, bless your heart. You're the first person who ever considered it a religious program. KING: What was that? You did that thing, was that on "Good Morning, America"? HARVEY: I just did the rest of the story on "Good Morning, America," but did a news commentary on... KING: He considered it religious. HARVEY: ... a couple of hundred stations, and this gentleman construed the fact that sometimes I would try to separate rightness and wrongness as a religious program. I guess I'm flattered, thank you. KING: Have you ever questioned your faith? HARVEY: But a pulpit is a responsibility infinitely higher than any to which I would aspire. KING: Have you ever questioned your faith? HARVEY: Questioned it? Oh, I think we all did when we were young. As a matter of fact, I was very tardy in my own life coming to a firm conviction. I like the promise of John 3:16, says, "believe and be saved." That's an... (CROSSTALK) HARVEY: So I put that in my pocket and went on about my own willful ways, and it was very tardy in my own life, I'm sorry to say. KING: Did something do it? HARVEY: Yes, I went to a little tiny church in Cave Creek, Arizona, the oldest town in Arizona. Folding chairs. And I sat about 10 rows back. A little visiting clergyman gets up, and the first few words out of his mouth, Angela (ph) thinks, Paul's going to walk out of here, because his grammar was atrocious. But he began talking about baptism. He says, he explained to me baptism, the cleansing and the recovery from the cleansing, in a manner in which it had never been described to me before. And I thought to myself, this gesture is for me. I was the first one on my feet at the end of his -- and I walked for -- but they didn't have a baptismal, or anything, so he arranged to have a little church down in the valley, this is many years ago, a little church down in the valley arranged to let us use their baptismal pond. I went there with Angela (ph) and a few friends one weekend and... KING: Baptized. HARVEY: Yes. And boy, that's where the fun begins, when you stop tearing yourself in half. KING: More of Paul Harvey on this edition of LARRY KING LIVE. Don't go away. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: A father. A father is a thing that is forced to endure childbirth without an anesthetic. A father is a thing that growls when it feels good, and laughs very loud when it's scared half to death. A father is sometimes accused of giving too much time to his business when the little ones are growing up. That's partly fear, too. Fathers are much more easily frightened than mothers. A father never feels entirely worthy of the worship in a child's eyes. He's never quite the hero his daughter thinks; he's never quite the man his son believes him to be, and this worries him sometimes. So he works too hard, to try and smooth the rough places in the road for those of his own who will follow him. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: Now, the rest of the story. I want you to meet Lawrence Zeiger, a young radio announcer on Miami station WTVJ. One day, Lawrence signs off the air to hear he's wanted on the telephone, something named Boom-Boom Giorno? Well the announcer picks up the phone and the voice says, You the kid I was listening to on "News Weekend"? So, Lawrence says, Who are you? The voice says, Boom-Boom Giorno. (END VIDEO CLIP) KING: Oh, you did me. HARVEY: Oh, a wonderful story. KING: You going to finish the whole thing now? No, I got too many people calling, I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed. (CROSSTALK) HARVEY: OK, Lawrence Zeiger didn't know what to think. But Boom-Boom Giorno sounded like somebody to whom he should respond. And Boom-Boom said, you're making a speech next Thursday night. At the shrine auditorium in Fort Lauderdale. Black tie. I'll fill you in later. And he hung up. Well, Lawrence Zeiger figured that this was somebody to whom he should pay attention, and he did, and dutifully, at the appointed time, he drove up Highway 1 to Fort Lauderdale. And he found a man waiting for him in the parking lot. Walked up and said, I'm Boom-Boom Giorno. And Lawrence Zeiger said, I'm pleased to meet you. Boom-Boom said, Come on in. They went into the backstage and he was told, This is a charity fund-raising event for Italian boys. You're expected to say a few funny things, and then sit down. And that's it. After the program was over, it had been reasonably successfully. Indeed a large collection had been taken for the charity in question. On his way out, he is met again, Lawrence Zeiger, by Boom-Boom backstage, who wants to escort him to his car. He reaches into his pocket, pulls out a wad of money and said, What do I owe you, kid? And the kid said, Forget it. Boom-Boom said, Can't do that. We owe you. You got a marker on us. So Lawrence Zeiger said, What do you have in mind? And Boom-Boom said -- Boom-Boom responded with five words that Lawrence Zeiger never forgot to this day. The five words were, Anybody you don't like? And immediately, of course, Lawrence Zeiger is thinking about his station manager, but he didn't mention that. But over the years since, he has thought so many times about Boom-Boom and it has influenced his career to an extent that each of you will especially appreciate because it taught Lawrence Zeiger, a fledgling disc jockey, a youngster from New York who was so utterly inexperienced the significance of paucity in handling our beautiful language. And from that day to this, as he conducts interview programs, you listen. Pay attention now. Instead of what the average interviewer does, wax eloquently about how much he knows about a certain subject, and then asks the interviewee to say yes or no this interviewer will ask questions like, so, What happened? And you have to take it from there. And I just wanted you to know about the night when Lawrence Zeiger learned the significance of brevity and that was when he became Larry King. And now you know the rest of the story. KING: Victoria -- he set that up. Victoria, British Columbia, hello. CALLER: Good evening, gentlemen, how are you? KING: Fine. CALLER: Perhaps, Mr. Harvey, you just answered my question, but I was wondering, of all of the wonderful and anecdotes from the rest of the story that you've shared with us through the years what would you say is your most favorite one or the one which touched you the most deeply? KING: I have a favorite one. Mine was the discovery of champagne by the monk who spilled the wine. HARVEY: Oh, my, Dom Perignon. KING: And now you know the rest of the story. Do you have a favorite rest of the story? HARVEY: It dates back to before "The Rest of the Story" became a regular series, when it was just a segment of my regular broadcast, and that was the one that I broadcast on the occasion of the birth of my son. KING: How's your wife? HARVEY: Wonderfully well, Larry, and, of course, wants to be remembered to you. KING: How long you been married? HARVEY: She won't let me tell. She gave me this ring when she picked up my option for a second 50 years, and that's been quite a few years ago. KING: We'll be back with our remaining -- all-too-quick remaining moments with Paul Harvey. Don't go away. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) KING: As we come back, Paul Harvey day, October 4 in Chicago, what was that like? There's your day. HARVEY: Well, thank you, thank you, Larry. We have a mayor in Chicago now... KING: Good guy. HARVEY: ... who is -- oh, Larry, he is an infinite improvement over his own father, who was a good mayor. But this fellow has embraced that polyglot population with a wonderful warmth that I would never have imagined... KING: Young Daly. HARVEY: ... come to pass. KING: Alliance, Nebraska, hello. CALLER: Good evening, Larry, good evening, Mr. Harvey. HARVEY: Good evening. CALLER: I was just wondering, what do you listen to on the radio? HARVEY: What do I listen to on the radio? I listen to news on my way down very, very early in the pre-dawn dark, and that's about it. KING: You have a winter home in Arizona, right? HARVEY: Yes. KING: And the summers are still spent in Chicago? HARVEY: We -- I -- I'm often asked which is my favorite. I love each of those place better than any place else on earth. KING: Chicago and Phoenix. Chicago's a special place. HARVEY: Indeed. KING: Ain't no city like it. HARVEY: And for a news person, there is no better position from which to see the rest of the world without distortion. KING: Colorado Springs, hello. CALLER: Hello, Larry. Hello, Mr. Harvey. This is a great pleasure to talk to you. HARVEY: Thank you. CALLER: I wanted to ask you about your wonderful story called "The Man and The Birds." HARVEY: My. CALLER: That is so inspiring. I think it's one of the most inspiring things I've ever heard about god and about Jesus. And I wondered if it came from your family or if you could tell about that story. HARVEY: No, ma'am, I can't claim credit for it. The religion editor of the United Press and I tried for many years, while he lived, to search out and find the author of those words. But I think, maybe some things are written without attribution purposefully. Maybe we're not supposed to attribute those words to anybody in particular. But isn't it a very, very moving story? It moves me even yet. KING: Minami, Wisconsin, hello. CALLER: Hello, Larry. Hello, Paul. HARVEY: Howdy, sir. CALLER: My question for you is, over the years, forms of technology and forms of acquiring news has changed so much. And in the changes of technology and in news, what do you consider as the biggest revolution in news radio and how has the news changed and affected you as a broadcaster? KING: Technology, you're anti-technology, aren't you? You're in my class there. HARVEY: Yes, I'm afraid so, Larry. KING: Computers, no. HARVEY: I'm glad to have people around the office who can understand those computers, but I certainly can't. In the old rip- and-read days of radio, we had no option but to reflect somebody else's perspective on the news. The big change is that now, everybody is expressing his view. When I started at ABC, there were three categories of news people; one was the news caster who just read the news as written by somebody else; the second was the news analyst, who had enough veneration to be able to analyze the news; and then, after he got enough miles on him he was able to call himself a commentator. And he had to work his way from one step to the other very tediously. Well, today, anybody can go on the air at anywhere and any time and comment on the news for better or worse. KING: You still an ordinary typewriter? HARVEY: Sure, I still pound every word into an IBM Selectric. I did got that far. I used a manual type writer until a just a few years ago. KING: Aren't you anti-computer? HARVEY: Yes, I think we've outsmarted ourselves, Larry. We got repairmen all over our office there three times a week. My little office in Chicago really doesn't deserve that. KING: You have a cell phone? HARVEY: Yes. KING: You've bowed to that, have you? HARVEY: No, my son keeps giving it to me and I can't be rude. KING: Paul, I can only wish you a longer life and more visits to this program. Why don't you do more television by the way? HARVEY: Well, Larry, I've a pretty full schedule, for one thing. But that invitation means more to me than you can imagine. KING: You're a very special man, Paul Harvey. HARVEY: Before I go... KING: What are you going to do? HARVEY: Your makeup lady... KING: Patty. HARVEY: Patty. KING: What about her? HARVEY: Well, I've been watching myself on your monitor here. She's taken -- would you call my wife and tell her I'm on my way to the airport, and to wait up for me in Phoenix because I'm coming home 40 years younger? Good day. KING: Good day. I'll be back to tell you about tomorrow night. You follow this, after this. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) KING: One of the great joys of being in this business, is you know you are in the same business of someone like Paul Harvey. I had the honor of emceeing his induction into the radio hall of fame. When I went into that hall fame two years later, just to share to the same experience with someone like Paul Harvey. No, way to tell you how a feeling like that is.

CNN OFF AIR FTG OF THE LARRY KING SHOW, W/ ABC RADIO COMMENTATOR AND LEGEND PAUL HARVEY. PAUL HARVEY, RADIO LEGEND: Hello, Americans. I'm Paul Harvey. LARRY KING, CNN HOST: Yes, he's here, the one and only. Conservative in his views, distinctive in his voice, titanic in his influence, an 84-year-old living legend of radio. After seven decades on the air, he's America's most listened-to broadcaster. One of the highest paid, too. Paul Harvey for the hour with your calls next on LARRY KING LIVE. HARVEY: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) KING: It's a great pleasure to welcome him back. It's been since 1991 his last appearance. So every decade or so we have him back. Paul Harvey, the broadcasting legend, the most listened-to broadcaster in radio ever. Twenty-four million listeners weekly with that unique blend of news and views. He's the largest one-man network in the world, more than 1,200 radio stations carry "Paul Harvey News" and "The Rest of the Story" and 400 armed forces network stations and he's syndicated in 300 newspapers. And indeed at the request of the astronauts, "Paul Harvey News" has been transmitted to international space station by NASA and ABC Radio Networks. How does all this make you feel? HARVEY: I don't think in terms of those numbers, Larry, nor do you. (UNINTELLIGIBLE) KING: We just go on, right? Yes, that's true. First and foremost, your health. Your voice went -- tell us what happened. HARVEY: Oh, my. It was a frightening while and a long several months. The voice disappeared. We later learning that a virus had settled itself in one of the vocal chords or in the muscle adjacent to the vocal chord. But, after a lot of prayer and good fortune, we got in contact with one of those wonderful physicians, an ortolarengologist, to whom it was no mystery at all. Works in the opera building, by the way, in Chicago, where he takes care of the opera stars coming and going. KING: What did he do for you? HARVEY: With a slight surgical procedure, he inserted a alongside the muscle, a tiny little piece of plastic, about the size of your little fingernail, to reinforce that muscle until it could regain its strength, until the viral infection had subsided. Then, he said, you can take it out if you want to or leave it in. It won't trouble you. It was a 45-minute in-and-out procedure after all those agonizing months. KING: Does your voice come back that day? HARVEY: Instantly. Oh, my goodness, what a -- I spent a lot of time on my knees that night, Larry. KING: What was it like to not have that voice? HARVEY: Oh... KING: That voice? HARVEY: How can I find the words to answer that question? Since I was 14, that voice has been my vocation, my avocation. It's been my life. KING: Did you think you had -- did you think you had had it, that you might have had to retire? HARVEY: I had to consider that possibility. So I spent a great deal of time feeling sorry for myself, and then settled down at the insistence of my wife and son to start making some notes for a book that I had postponed writing. First, I read 25 and a half books -- 25 and a third books. That third book, by the way, was on broadcasting. I couldn't finish that book because it was so full of all those words that I consider inappropriate and offensive. So I spent my time as fruitfully as I possibly could. KING: One of the kindest things was they called me and asked me to sit in for a week and I couldn't do it because of time limitations, but that was an honor to be asked, just to be asked to sit in for "Paul Harvey News." HARVEY: Well, I know if my wife had anything to do with that request you were the first choice, Larry. KING: Now less than a month after coming back, 9/11 hits. Where were you that morning? HARVEY: I did my regular morning broadcast and I think we saw the first pictures of the planes flying into the towers about 14 minutes after I signed off. So I spent the rest of the morning preparing the noon broadcast with what piecemeal material was incoming. KING: Was that the toughest broadcast? HARVEY: Oh, no. KING: No? HARVEY: No. You see, for one thing, I'm separated from New York by a few miles. Chicago has been home base for most of my professional life. I understand the proximity of that event having influenced our New York-based commentators and probably based there, I would have been similarly influenced. But I guess, from a distance, then and in the days thereafter, I didn't have to worry about my wife or my husband every day being in the next area of a terrorist target. I didn't have to think about people I loved having to go through those tunnels every morning. I didn't have to be preoccupied with that desolate emptiness against the New York sky. I think I could be, not indifferent, but a little less -- a little more objective. KING: No fear for something happening in Chicago? HARVEY: Not really. There wasn't time in those agonizing hours for fear. KING: It has changed all of us. This world has changed. HARVEY: It has, indeed. KING: How has it changed Paul Harvey? HARVEY: It has made him aware that, in these wars, there are no civilians anymore. It bothers me to hear of our planners' deference to the civilian population of such-and-such a target area. There are no civilians anymore anywhere in the world. Certainly, the Middle East demonstrates that every day, almost every hour of every day. Maybe we'll have fewer wars. Maybe we'll find some more civilized means of resolving inter-nation differences if the world population can come to accept the fact that there is no hiding place. KING: You mean, the threat of it all diminishes the threat of it all? HARVEY: If that's not the way to bet, that's the way to pray. KING: Are we going to war in Iraq? HARVEY: I have no insight. It isn't available to everybody these days. I think our Secretary of State is going to make a very convincing case to the United Nations next Wednesday. I think it's the United Nations that's on trial now, not us. KING: You've lived through wars, right? I mean, you've lived through a few of them. HARVEY: Well, as a matter of fact, I can remember in the 1930s, when the United Nations was called the League of Nations until it ignored the intrusion of Japan into Manchuria and China, until it ignored the intrusion of Italy into Ethiopia, until it failed to recognize Hitler for what he was, publicly tearing up the Versailles Treaty. And, so, the League of Nations, impotent, disappeared. KING: How has George W. Bush impressed you? HARVEY: Very favorably. KING: Surprisingly at all? HARVEY: The rapidity of his growth has. I knew him before he was governor of Texas, so, yes. Yes. Yes, I've been a little surprised. What a magnificent team he has. KING: Powell, Rumsfeld, Cheney and the gang. HARVEY: I was sharing the platform very often when General Powell was no longer Head of the Joint Chiefs. He was much in demand as a public speaker. Well, you know how you and I encounter each other backstage rather frequently. Well, I was encountering him rather frequently. I was an admirer and before many meetings, I was a very fond of this man and his wife. One day, I presumed to take him aside and I said, "General, both political parties are going to court you ferociously. Will you please make one promise for me -- just one promise -- that if anybody suggests the vice presidency, I want you to remember a former general of SAC, Curtis Lemay (ph), who was one of the most popular warriors in American history who said yes to the vice presidency and disappeared and was never heard from again." He said, "I promise to remember." KING: He did. HARVEY: And he did. I think in the last few weeks, he must wished that Paul Harvey had also exacted a promise that would include Secretary of State. KING: Paul Harry is our guest. We'll be taking calls for Paul at the bottom of the hour. Lots to talk with him about. We'll be back with the rest of this story right after this. Don't go away. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: Don't let noisy news distress you. Don't let the headline writers rain on your parade. My goodness, there's resiliency in this country. We've not yet begun to use -- as Mark Twain has said to have said of the music of (UNINTELLIGIBLE) , "It's Not Nearly so Bad as it Sounds." Paul Harvey, good day. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: I don't know, I can't make -- I can't make friends with all that technology. My son doesn't understand, either. (SINGING) HARVEY: Half a minute. Hello, Americans, this is Paul Harvey. Stand by for news. (END VIDEO CLIP) KING: What is that, what are you doing there? You're tuning your voice? HARVEY: I started that with a school teacher in Central High School when I was 14 and starting my first job at KVOO, limbering up the vocal cords, breathing from the diaphragm, and it's a habit that's with me to this day. KING: Who is Paul Harvey? Is he a newsman? Is he a personality? Is he a raconteur? Is he a storyteller? Is he a pundit? Is he a commercial? Is he a salesman? HARVEY: He's all of those things, and kind of a professional parade-watcher, who just can't wait to get up every morning. Honestly, Larry, at 1:30 A.M., your West Coast time, and rush down to the teletypes and the telephones to see what wonderful things, hundreds of millions of heroic people have been doing overnight. KING: And why does he like so much telling us? HARVEY: Probably, he's some of an exhibitionist. But, also, when we pray for guidance, and doors continue to open instead of close, a person comes to think of his job as an obligation. To enlighten and inform. KING: So you're all of the above. HARVEY: Probably some of each. KING: What keeps you, if there's a comparison, although he didn't have your personality, the late Gabriel Heater was someone who in World War II kept Americans going by "God there's good news tonight. HARVEY: He did. KING: What keeps you up, you are basically optimistic. HARVEY: Doesn't an historian have to be, Larry? KING: No, I would say, look at the world. Pessimism makes more sense. HARVEY: No. Tomorrow always has been better than today, and it always will be. There is no time in history that Larry King would choose over this one as a time in which to live. KING: Look at all the terrible things you see and have to report on. War and floods and hurricanes. HARVEY: Well, noise makes news. We've had newspapers in this country, I can think of one in particular, which tried to print just good news and it only lasted 14 weeks. It was in Sacramento, California as a matter of fact. People want to be frightened and it's a shame. I think we've become over-newsed for that reason. KING: You think we should return to the draft? HARVEY: I certainly hope we won't think of future wars in terms of marching boys with bayonets. Those weapons have lost our last three wars. KING: You turned against the Vietnam War, did you not? HARVEY: Yes, I did. KING: What caused that? HARVEY: Several factors. I had always been reared with the old MacArthur feeling that the only excuse for getting into a war is to win it. The only justification for war is to win it. And then, one day, I realized that in spite of the expenditure of all of our gold and all of that blood, in Vietnam and in Korea, the most we were able to deliver was a stalemate on the 50 yard line. We'd paid much too high a price for that. And it was then that I suggested that we drive it or park it. KING: Let's touch some other bases. I know a lot of people want to talk to you and we will be taking calls for Paul Harvey. Changes in radio, since you began, many. What do you make of, overall, radio today? HARVEY: Well, of course, I look at it from a news perspective, and I think -- almost every place I go, Larry, there are the little groups backstage, you're familiar with them, and one of the first questions they always want to ask, these news people in Cocamo and Kalamazoo is a paraphrase on the question -- how can we do our jobs better? I think we're aware that we overthrew the United States government just a little more decade ago for better or worse. They're aware of the significance of that awesome weapon we wield. I think this is wholesome. When I was growing up in the old rip-and-read days of radio, we had nothing like that awareness of our responsibility. My, goodness. Today, news people are more conscientious, they're smarter and more capable by far than any of any of their predecessors. KING: The public is well served by American radio? HARVEY: Over served at the moment. And I don't know what to do about that. KING: We'll be right back with more of Paul Harvey, your phone calls in a little while, don't go away. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: Did you hear about the little grade school fellow in Northern Italy? Somebody stole the little lad's lunch. He had brought to school a sack lunch, sandwich, fruit, cookies. Somebody stole it, stole his lunch and two pencils. Well, the little fellow went to the telephone and -- he dialed 911. Of course, police converged, and listened to his tearful appeal. Calmed him down. While they were there, a classmate confessed and returned the stolen goods. Most of it, the sandwich had -- was minus a bite or two. Now, page two. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) KING: I've said this out of his presence, I'll say it in his presence -- it's impossible to have Paul Harvey on your radio to punch the button. You cannot have Paul Harvey on the radio and hit another station. That's how magnetic you are. HARVEY: Oh, my goodness. KING: A top advertising man said about you, "In the advertising business, Paul Harvey is a phenomena. In a league of his own. The only one compared to him would be Oprah." HARVEY: My, goodness. Oh. KING: Does it -- no one sells products like you. Does it diminish the newscaster to pitch a product? HARVEY: I'm going to have to let the listeners judge that for themselves. I would presume to tell them how they should respond. But to me, my, goodness, so frequently, some of the best news that's included in my broadcast is within the body of the commercial. That there really is now a response for such-and-such an illness, that there really is a better way to do this or to do that, that there really is a wonderful way to extend human life and alleviate pain. KING: You just signed a ten-year contract, is that right? HARVEY: Yes. KING: Ten years. You're 84. HARVEY: I am? KING: Are you? HARVEY: I stopped counting at 55. KING: Do you expect to fulfill that contract? HARVEY: Oh, yes. Unless I can find something that's more fun than what I'm doing now, and I certainly haven't been able to find that. KING: But, in other words, you have no desire to ever hang it up. HARVEY: Larry, I've got a chance to hang it up, you know, just not many months ago when I was sidelined. No, oh, I'd hate to have to get up every morning and play golf the way I play golf. KING: What do you make of what's happened to the culture? We seem to be a culture of anything goes. HARVEY: Excesses ultimately, eventually, are their own undoing and that keeps me hopeful. KING: That things will turn? Do you -- do you watch -- do you like reality television? Do you watch television at night? HARVEY: My bedtime is so early, I don't get to see most of the programs, but the few that I particularly enjoy, the family tapes so that I can hear them subsequently. But, no, I'm not addicted to a regimen of sitting by the set. KING: We're going to take a lot of calls for you, Paul, so a couple of other things I want to get in. How did you come up with the pause before "good day"? HARVEY: I'm asked that question a lot and I'm not even aware of it. I'm just pausing between what I'm saying and what I'm thinking about saying. KING: But when you finish, that had to be a thought of... HARVEY: Not really. KING: No? HARVEY: Well, maybe I wasn't reading the clock as accurately as you do and I'd wait for the secondhand to get around to where it belonged and finished with good day. KING: You write all your own copy, right? HARVEY: Yes. KING: And this is a particular talent of yours. Did you start as a writer? HARVEY: No. KING: You were a broadcaster who wrote rather than... HARVEY: I was rip-and-read in the early days, just tear it off the AP machine. KING: You write all your own commercials, too, right? HARVEY: Yes. KING: And this apparent, not nervousness, this thing you go through before you go on and the like, are you -- for example, you're on radio. Early in the morning, right, your first newscast is what time? That you... HARVEY: It goes out of when I'm in Chicago, it goes out of there at 6:30 Chicago time. KING: Why are you wearing a shirt and tie? HARVEY: I've never been asked that. Nor have I ever asked myself. KING: You're dressing up for radio, Paul. HARVEY: Now I'm going to think about it. KING: OK. You can do it in a t-shirt. You could do it in an open collar. HARVEY: Really? (LAUGHTER) KING: You come from that... HARVEY: I want to think about that. KING: So everybody when you started worked up in radio wore a shirt and tie and jacket everyday, right? HARVEY: Yes. Yes, I -- I can't explain why. But I do know that the times that I try to go casual, something is sacrificed. And I can't... KING: Really? HARVEY: ... I can't put my finger on it. KING: You're not as good? HARVEY: I don't know whether that's the word or not, but I'm -- I -- something is -- something is missing. And the engineers tell me this, not just myself. KING: Really? HARVEY: Yes. I had Bob Benninghoff (ph), a longtime engineer, good gracious, 50 years an engineer on "Paul Harvey News." He took me aside on one day and said, You're beginning to sound as casual as you dress. KING: That did it. We'll be right back with your calls for Paul Harvey. You're watching LARRY KING LIVE. Tomorrow night, the cast of a show you would like, "Will & Grace." Don't go away. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: Now, for what it's worth, in Hartford, Connecticut, the chief of police missed a speaking engagement at the local school because he couldn't find the entrance. That's what he says. That he walked around the Hartford school building but could not find an entrance, so he left. Paul Jose Smith suggests any criminals planning to relocate might want to try Hartford. Paul Harvey, good day. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) KING: We're back with Paul Harvey, and as we come back, for the benefit of our viewers, we see a street, looks like Chicago. Paul Harvey Drive. Where is that? HARVEY: Oh, my goodness. It's right at the corner of the River and Michigan Avenue. KING: Paul Harvey Drive, you made it, man! Let's go to calls for Mr. Harvey. Dayton, Texas, hello. CALLER: Hi there. Hi, Mr. Harvey. Hi, Larry. KING: Hi. CALLER: If and when we go to war with Iraq, how would you cover it? HARVEY: How would I cover it? KING: Well, he'd just report every day on the happenings, right? You don't go out anymore, do you? HARVEY: Oh, my, no. I think I -- we have now so many capable people on the war fronts that one from a distance gets a more objective point of view. I would probably cover it from my comfortable accommodations in Chicago. KING: In your old days, you covered things. HARVEY: Oh, yes, I used to chase floods and fires and wars. KING: Do you ever miss the zone, being at the scene? I mean, you're so comfortable now, you've got all you'll ever need, you've got the desk and the broadcast. You ever say, I'd like to be there? HARVEY: Not really, Larry. The world has become an uglier place. And the myopia imposed by your presence in a military situation is frustrating for me. On the war front, you're told pretty much what to say and where to go. KING: Blythewood, South Carolina, hello. CALLER: Hello, Mr. Harvey. HARVEY: Hello. CALLER: I just want to know, are you still doing your broadcast on the Armed Forces Network to the soldiers overseas? HARVEY: Yes, indeed, and thank you for asking. And in addition to that, as Larry mentioned a little earlier, we've, as of recent weeks, patched a broadcast into space. KING: How does that make you feel? HARVEY: Humble. KING: Yes, astronauts asked for you. Tampa, Florida, hello. CALLER: Yes, Larry, my question for Paul Harvey is, with 120 million people in the United States classified as overweight and half of all children suffering from obesity, what do you feel, Mr. Harvey, needs to be done in order to help this generation and future generations when it comes to the problem of obesity, not only in our children but people of all ages? KING: Now, there's a question out of left field. HARVEY: I think he's hit the nail on the head, too, Larry, because it is an area of public and private health which has not been receiving public attention. This individual sounds sufficiently informed and sufficiently animated so that he's already doing what I think we can best do, just spread the gospel of discipline. KING: Because that's simply, you know, politicians don't talk about it when they discuss great health programs, no one discusses overweight. HARVEY: Well, there's nothing to sell. KING: Well, it's a diabetic causes and the like. It's major American health problem. HARVEY: It is. If somebody would come out with a cure for it that would have a price tag on it, then we'd all get interested. KING: Bogalusa, Louisiana, hello. CALLER: Hello, Larry. KING: Hi. CALLER: My question for Mr. Harvey is, he has stories from so many places, a lot of them people have never heard of. How much research does he have to do every day to prepare? KING: Yes. HARVEY: Well, it requires that I get to work rather early, but I come up to my office in the pre-dawn dark and start sorting the United Press and the Associated Press and the Reuters, wires and our ABC stringers all over the world. We have about 600 pairs of eyes now scattered around the world who are constantly reporting the sort of thing that they know Paul Harvey likes to include. So I can't claim credit for those sources, except for the sorting process. When I try to select from tens of thousands of possibilities, those stories which I think you needed to know and those stories which I think you want to know, and each broadcast is supposed to be a combination of those. KING: And who does the rest of the story? HARVEY: Young Paul writes all of the rest of the story -- stories -- and artfully, I might say. KING: How long you've been doing that, now? HARVEY: Let's see. He decided that the rest of the story was a good idea. We both decided that Paul Harvey didn't have the time to take on anything else, anything extracurricular. He agreed that he would do the writing, maybe he's sorry... KING: There's little Paul on the screen now. And bigger Paul. HARVEY: Yes. Even at the cost of stepping aside from a very important concert piano career. And he has since grown into that responsibility. He's an infinitely finer writer than his dad ever was. KING: But that is one great idea, the rest of the story, a great idea. HARVEY: Bill Stern, as you may remember, got caught careless with the truth. Young Paul has been so scrupulous. He has to have two independent sources for anything that he uses, and in controversial subjects, at least three. KING: Albuquerque, New Mexico, for Paul Harvey, hello. CALLER: Hi, Larry. KING: Hi. CALLER: Hi, Mr. Harvey. HARVEY: Good afternoon, good evening, or good morning, whichever it is in Albuquerque. CALLER: My -- I watched you for many, many years. HARVEY: Thank you. CALLER: And my question is, years ago, in the 1960s, I used to watch you on television. You had a religious program. That made my day. And I was wondering why that stopped and if you'd ever consider doing it again. HARVEY: Oh, bless your heart. You're the first person who ever considered it a religious program. KING: What was that? You did that thing, was that on "Good Morning, America"? HARVEY: I just did the rest of the story on "Good Morning, America," but did a news commentary on... KING: He considered it religious. HARVEY: ... a couple of hundred stations, and this gentleman construed the fact that sometimes I would try to separate rightness and wrongness as a religious program. I guess I'm flattered, thank you. KING: Have you ever questioned your faith? HARVEY: But a pulpit is a responsibility infinitely higher than any to which I would aspire. KING: Have you ever questioned your faith? HARVEY: Questioned it? Oh, I think we all did when we were young. As a matter of fact, I was very tardy in my own life coming to a firm conviction. I like the promise of John 3:16, says, "believe and be saved." That's an... (CROSSTALK) HARVEY: So I put that in my pocket and went on about my own willful ways, and it was very tardy in my own life, I'm sorry to say. KING: Did something do it? HARVEY: Yes, I went to a little tiny church in Cave Creek, Arizona, the oldest town in Arizona. Folding chairs. And I sat about 10 rows back. A little visiting clergyman gets up, and the first few words out of his mouth, Angela (ph) thinks, Paul's going to walk out of here, because his grammar was atrocious. But he began talking about baptism. He says, he explained to me baptism, the cleansing and the recovery from the cleansing, in a manner in which it had never been described to me before. And I thought to myself, this gesture is for me. I was the first one on my feet at the end of his -- and I walked for -- but they didn't have a baptismal, or anything, so he arranged to have a little church down in the valley, this is many years ago, a little church down in the valley arranged to let us use their baptismal pond. I went there with Angela (ph) and a few friends one weekend and... KING: Baptized. HARVEY: Yes. And boy, that's where the fun begins, when you stop tearing yourself in half. KING: More of Paul Harvey on this edition of LARRY KING LIVE. Don't go away. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: A father. A father is a thing that is forced to endure childbirth without an anesthetic. A father is a thing that growls when it feels good, and laughs very loud when it's scared half to death. A father is sometimes accused of giving too much time to his business when the little ones are growing up. That's partly fear, too. Fathers are much more easily frightened than mothers. A father never feels entirely worthy of the worship in a child's eyes. He's never quite the hero his daughter thinks; he's never quite the man his son believes him to be, and this worries him sometimes. So he works too hard, to try and smooth the rough places in the road for those of his own who will follow him. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: Now, the rest of the story. I want you to meet Lawrence Zeiger, a young radio announcer on Miami station WTVJ. One day, Lawrence signs off the air to hear he's wanted on the telephone, something named Boom-Boom Giorno? Well the announcer picks up the phone and the voice says, You the kid I was listening to on "News Weekend"? So, Lawrence says, Who are you? The voice says, Boom-Boom Giorno. (END VIDEO CLIP) KING: Oh, you did me. HARVEY: Oh, a wonderful story. KING: You going to finish the whole thing now? No, I got too many people calling, I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed. (CROSSTALK) HARVEY: OK, Lawrence Zeiger didn't know what to think. But Boom-Boom Giorno sounded like somebody to whom he should respond. And Boom-Boom said, you're making a speech next Thursday night. At the shrine auditorium in Fort Lauderdale. Black tie. I'll fill you in later. And he hung up. Well, Lawrence Zeiger figured that this was somebody to whom he should pay attention, and he did, and dutifully, at the appointed time, he drove up Highway 1 to Fort Lauderdale. And he found a man waiting for him in the parking lot. Walked up and said, I'm Boom-Boom Giorno. And Lawrence Zeiger said, I'm pleased to meet you. Boom-Boom said, Come on in. They went into the backstage and he was told, This is a charity fund-raising event for Italian boys. You're expected to say a few funny things, and then sit down. And that's it. After the program was over, it had been reasonably successfully. Indeed a large collection had been taken for the charity in question. On his way out, he is met again, Lawrence Zeiger, by Boom-Boom backstage, who wants to escort him to his car. He reaches into his pocket, pulls out a wad of money and said, What do I owe you, kid? And the kid said, Forget it. Boom-Boom said, Can't do that. We owe you. You got a marker on us. So Lawrence Zeiger said, What do you have in mind? And Boom-Boom said -- Boom-Boom responded with five words that Lawrence Zeiger never forgot to this day. The five words were, Anybody you don't like? And immediately, of course, Lawrence Zeiger is thinking about his station manager, but he didn't mention that. But over the years since, he has thought so many times about Boom-Boom and it has influenced his career to an extent that each of you will especially appreciate because it taught Lawrence Zeiger, a fledgling disc jockey, a youngster from New York who was so utterly inexperienced the significance of paucity in handling our beautiful language. And from that day to this, as he conducts interview programs, you listen. Pay attention now. Instead of what the average interviewer does, wax eloquently about how much he knows about a certain subject, and then asks the interviewee to say yes or no this interviewer will ask questions like, so, What happened? And you have to take it from there. And I just wanted you to know about the night when Lawrence Zeiger learned the significance of brevity and that was when he became Larry King. And now you know the rest of the story. KING: Victoria -- he set that up. Victoria, British Columbia, hello. CALLER: Good evening, gentlemen, how are you? KING: Fine. CALLER: Perhaps, Mr. Harvey, you just answered my question, but I was wondering, of all of the wonderful and anecdotes from the rest of the story that you've shared with us through the years what would you say is your most favorite one or the one which touched you the most deeply? KING: I have a favorite one. Mine was the discovery of champagne by the monk who spilled the wine. HARVEY: Oh, my, Dom Perignon. KING: And now you know the rest of the story. Do you have a favorite rest of the story? HARVEY: It dates back to before "The Rest of the Story" became a regular series, when it was just a segment of my regular broadcast, and that was the one that I broadcast on the occasion of the birth of my son. KING: How's your wife? HARVEY: Wonderfully well, Larry, and, of course, wants to be remembered to you. KING: How long you been married? HARVEY: She won't let me tell. She gave me this ring when she picked up my option for a second 50 years, and that's been quite a few years ago. KING: We'll be back with our remaining -- all-too-quick remaining moments with Paul Harvey. Don't go away. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) KING: As we come back, Paul Harvey day, October 4 in Chicago, what was that like? There's your day. HARVEY: Well, thank you, thank you, Larry. We have a mayor in Chicago now... KING: Good guy. HARVEY: ... who is -- oh, Larry, he is an infinite improvement over his own father, who was a good mayor. But this fellow has embraced that polyglot population with a wonderful warmth that I would never have imagined... KING: Young Daly. HARVEY: ... come to pass. KING: Alliance, Nebraska, hello. CALLER: Good evening, Larry, good evening, Mr. Harvey. HARVEY: Good evening. CALLER: I was just wondering, what do you listen to on the radio? HARVEY: What do I listen to on the radio? I listen to news on my way down very, very early in the pre-dawn dark, and that's about it. KING: You have a winter home in Arizona, right? HARVEY: Yes. KING: And the summers are still spent in Chicago? HARVEY: We -- I -- I'm often asked which is my favorite. I love each of those place better than any place else on earth. KING: Chicago and Phoenix. Chicago's a special place. HARVEY: Indeed. KING: Ain't no city like it. HARVEY: And for a news person, there is no better position from which to see the rest of the world without distortion. KING: Colorado Springs, hello. CALLER: Hello, Larry. Hello, Mr. Harvey. This is a great pleasure to talk to you. HARVEY: Thank you. CALLER: I wanted to ask you about your wonderful story called "The Man and The Birds." HARVEY: My. CALLER: That is so inspiring. I think it's one of the most inspiring things I've ever heard about god and about Jesus. And I wondered if it came from your family or if you could tell about that story. HARVEY: No, ma'am, I can't claim credit for it. The religion editor of the United Press and I tried for many years, while he lived, to search out and find the author of those words. But I think, maybe some things are written without attribution purposefully. Maybe we're not supposed to attribute those words to anybody in particular. But isn't it a very, very moving story? It moves me even yet. KING: Minami, Wisconsin, hello. CALLER: Hello, Larry. Hello, Paul. HARVEY: Howdy, sir. CALLER: My question for you is, over the years, forms of technology and forms of acquiring news has changed so much. And in the changes of technology and in news, what do you consider as the biggest revolution in news radio and how has the news changed and affected you as a broadcaster? KING: Technology, you're anti-technology, aren't you? You're in my class there. HARVEY: Yes, I'm afraid so, Larry. KING: Computers, no. HARVEY: I'm glad to have people around the office who can understand those computers, but I certainly can't. In the old rip- and-read days of radio, we had no option but to reflect somebody else's perspective on the news. The big change is that now, everybody is expressing his view. When I started at ABC, there were three categories of news people; one was the news caster who just read the news as written by somebody else; the second was the news analyst, who had enough veneration to be able to analyze the news; and then, after he got enough miles on him he was able to call himself a commentator. And he had to work his way from one step to the other very tediously. Well, today, anybody can go on the air at anywhere and any time and comment on the news for better or worse. KING: You still an ordinary typewriter? HARVEY: Sure, I still pound every word into an IBM Selectric. I did got that far. I used a manual type writer until a just a few years ago. KING: Aren't you anti-computer? HARVEY: Yes, I think we've outsmarted ourselves, Larry. We got repairmen all over our office there three times a week. My little office in Chicago really doesn't deserve that. KING: You have a cell phone? HARVEY: Yes. KING: You've bowed to that, have you? HARVEY: No, my son keeps giving it to me and I can't be rude. KING: Paul, I can only wish you a longer life and more visits to this program. Why don't you do more television by the way? HARVEY: Well, Larry, I've a pretty full schedule, for one thing. But that invitation means more to me than you can imagine. KING: You're a very special man, Paul Harvey. HARVEY: Before I go... KING: What are you going to do? HARVEY: Your makeup lady... KING: Patty. HARVEY: Patty. KING: What about her? HARVEY: Well, I've been watching myself on your monitor here. She's taken -- would you call my wife and tell her I'm on my way to the airport, and to wait up for me in Phoenix because I'm coming home 40 years younger? Good day. KING: Good day. I'll be back to tell you about tomorrow night. You follow this, after this. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) KING: One of the great joys of being in this business, is you know you are in the same business of someone like Paul Harvey. I had the honor of emceeing his induction into the radio hall of fame. When I went into that hall fame two years later, just to share to the same experience with someone like Paul Harvey. No, way to tell you how a feeling like that is.

Day two of testimony in the murder trial of three men accused of killing South Florida rapper XXXTentacion continuedat the Broward County Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale on Wednesday.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Detectives arrested Trayvon Newsome, 24, Dedrick Williams, 26, Robert Allen, 26, and Michael Boatwright, 28, for the murder, but only Allen pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and is a witness in the case. The others are going to trial.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Detectives say the group ambushed and robbed the rapper, whose real name is Jahseh Onfroy, shortly before 4 p.m., on June 18, 2018, outside of RIVA Motorsports in Deerfield Beach.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Allen testified against the three men.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>The jury also watched surveillance video of the entire incident.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Robert Allen: As hes grabbing the bag shots are fired.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Pascale Achille, prosecutor: Who shoots the shots that are fired?</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Allen: Michael Boatwright.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Achille: And who does he shoot?</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Allen: Triple X.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Robert Allen's testimony</p>\n<p>Tuesday:</p>\n<p>A family friend of the rapper XXXTentacion broke down Tuesday as he told jurors how he and the rapper were ambushed by armed robbers as they drove away from a motorcycle shop, how he fled in fear and then heard the gunshots that killed the rising star.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Leonard Kerrs testimony highlighted the opening day in the trial of three men accused of fatally shooting XXXTentacion on June 18, 2018, inside his BMW sports car, which had been blocked by an SUV as Kerr and the rapper pulled out of the Riva Motorsports parking lot near Fort Lauderdale.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Two men jumped out with guns, Kerr said. He said the taller man pointed his weapon at him and told him not to get out of the car, punctuating his command with a curse word. The other man was trying to pull the rappers gold chain from his neck. Kerr said he could hear XXXTentacion asking, Whats this for? At that point, Kerr said, he decided to escape, pushing the button that opened the passenger door.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>If I run, I can get shot, but I can live. If I sit.... Kerr said, his voicing trailing off until he stopped to regain his composure.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Kerr said when he looked back, the taller man was pointing his gun at XXXTentacion, and he said he heard at least two loud bangs. The men then got back into the SUV and sped off, taking with them the $50,000 the rapper had in his designer bag.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Boatwright is accused of being the shooter, while his friend, Newsome, is accused of being the other gunman. Williams is accused of being the driver. They could all receive life sentences if convicted of first-degree murder. A fourth man who prosecutors say was in the SUV, Allen, pleaded guilty last year to second-degree murder and is set to testify against his former friends.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>During opening statements earlier Tuesday, the jurors heard divergent theories about the shooting. A robbery gone awry, according to prosecutors. According to the defense, it could have been a feud between XXXTentacion and the megastar Drake, but they say detectives refused to investigate that possibility.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Prosecutor Pascale Achille told jurors that Boatwright, Newsome, Williams and Allen, set out that day to commit armed robberies. Allen and Williams went inside the motorcycle shop to buy masks, she said.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>There, they happened upon XXXTentacion, who, according to Kerr, had the $50,000 he had just gotten from the bank hanging out of his bag. The pair recognized him, and the group seized upon the opportunity, deciding to rob him as he left, Achille said. Boatwright shot him several times without any provocation, she said.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>To varying degrees, the defendants are linked to the shooting by surveillance video and cellphone locations, and all are implicated through Allens expected testimony, Achille said. Then there are the social media photos of some of the men flashing the money posted that night, she said.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>They go on social media and start bragging that they have this influx of cash, Achille said. They flash it like its Christmas Day.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>To the mens attorneys, the defendants are victims of Robert Allens lies and the failure of detectives to investigate XXXTentacions feud with Drake XXXTentacion once said on social media that if he ever wound up dead, the Canadian rapper would be the cause. He later retracted that. Another rapper had also made threats against XXXTentacion.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>They said that with the rappers slaying coming just four months after the slaying of 17 people at nearby Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, the Broward Sheriffs Office was under extreme political pressure to solve the case quickly.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>For Broward County, for everyone involved, this was a nightmare, said Mauricio Padilla, Williams attorney.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Thats why they wanted no part with investigating a celebrity, he said.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Prosecutors say there is no evidence linking Drake to the shooting, and Williams is clearly seen in the stores surveillance video, recognizable through his distinctive facial tattoos. He was also identified by one of the clerks. Padilla conceded Williams was present in the store but didnt say how he would explain that.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Joseph Kimok, Boatwrights attorney, also pointed the finger at a third man as the possible shooter a friend Williams was seen talking to inside the motorcycle store just before the shooting who has the same build as his client. He alluded that the friend could have gotten into the SUV Williams was driving outside the view of surveillance cameras. He said the evidence will show that Boatwright was asleep at the home he shared with his grandmother at the time of the shooting.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>At no point (in the surveillance videos) will you see Mr. Boatwright, because he wasnt there, Kimok said.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Yes, a cellphone linked to him was near the store but that was a community phone used by several men, he said. And yes, he very stupidly posed with money that night but that money was Allens, not Boatwrights, Kimok said.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Newsomes attorney also denied that his client was present.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>The victim pronounced his stage name ex-ex-ex-ten-ta-see-YAWN. He was a platinum-selling rising star who tackled issues including prejudice and depression in his songs. He also drew criticism over bad behavior and multiple arrests, including charges that he severely beat and abused his girlfriend.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Station Notes/Scripts:</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--SUPERS</b>--</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--VIDEO SHOWS</b>--</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--VO SCRIPT</b>--</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--LEAD IN</b>--</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--SOT</b>--</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--TAG</b>--</p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS</b>--</p>\n<p> 16:06;12 Pascale Achille/Assistant State Attorney: “Who is the individual that stands back, steadies himself, pointed with the rifle at the victim’s head right now?</p>\n<p>Robert Allen/Pled guilty to murder in August: “Michael Boatwright.”</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>DAY TWO OF THE MURDER TRIAL FOR 3 MEN ACCUSED OF KILLING RAPPER XXXTENTACION - THE JURY, HEARING TESTIMONY FROM A 4TH MAN WHO WAS ALLEGEDLY INVOLVED, BUT IS NOW COOPERATING WITH THE STATE.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>13:57:07 Pascale Achille/Assistant State Attorney: “Who are the 3 co-defendants that you were indicted with?”</p>\n<p>Robert Allen/Pled guilty to murder in August: “Michael Boatwright, Trayvon Newsome, and Dedrick Williams.”</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>ROBERT ALLEN PLED GUILTY IN AUGUST TO 2ND DEGREE MURDER… IN EXCHANGE FOR ACTING AS A WITNESS FOR PROSECUTORS.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>THE OTHER 3 MEN INVOLVED… DEDRICK WILLIAMS, TRAYVON NEWSOME, AND MICHAEL BOATWRIGHT, ALL FACE CHARGES OF 1ST DEGREE MURDER - FOR THE ROBBERY AND SHOOTING OF XXXTENTACION IN JUNE 2018.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>IN COURT WEDNESDAY… THE JURY WATCHED SURVEILLANCE OF THE ENTIRE INCIDENT THAT DAY… AS THE RAPPER, WHOSE REAL NAME IS JAHSEH ONFROY, TRIED LEAVING RIVA MOTORSPORTS… ONLY TO BE CUT OFF AND THEN ROBBED AT GUNPOINT, BEFORE BEING SHOT SEVERAL TIMES.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>14:42:15 Robert Allen/Pled guilty to murder in August: “As he’s grabbing the bag shots are fired.”</p>\n<p>Pascale Achille/Assistant State attorney: “Who shoots the shots that are fired?”</p>\n<p>Robert Allen/Pled guilty to murder in August: “Michael Boatwright.” </p>\n<p>Pascale Achille/Assistant State attorney: “And who does he shoot? </p>\n<p>Robert Allen/Pled guilty to murder in August: “Triple X.”</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>-----END-----CNN.SCRIPT-----</b></p>\n<p></p>\n<p><b>--KEYWORD TAGS--</b></p>\n<p></p>

She told jurors that defendants Michael Boatwright, Trayvon Newsome and Dedrick Williams, plus a fourth man who has pleaded guilty to a reduced charge, Robert Allen, set out June 18, 2018, to commit armed robberies and went to Riva Motorsports in suburban Fort Lauderdale to buy masks.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p></p>\n<p>There, they happened upon XXXTentacion, who was there with a friend to buy a motorcycle.

CNN OFF AIR FTG OF THE LARRY KING SHOW, W/ ABC RADIO COMMENTATOR AND LEGEND PAUL HARVEY. PAUL HARVEY, RADIO LEGEND: Hello, Americans. I'm Paul Harvey. LARRY KING, CNN HOST: Yes, he's here, the one and only. Conservative in his views, distinctive in his voice, titanic in his influence, an 84-year-old living legend of radio. After seven decades on the air, he's America's most listened-to broadcaster. One of the highest paid, too. Paul Harvey for the hour with your calls next on LARRY KING LIVE. HARVEY: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) KING: It's a great pleasure to welcome him back. It's been since 1991 his last appearance. So every decade or so we have him back. Paul Harvey, the broadcasting legend, the most listened-to broadcaster in radio ever. Twenty-four million listeners weekly with that unique blend of news and views. He's the largest one-man network in the world, more than 1,200 radio stations carry "Paul Harvey News" and "The Rest of the Story" and 400 armed forces network stations and he's syndicated in 300 newspapers. And indeed at the request of the astronauts, "Paul Harvey News" has been transmitted to international space station by NASA and ABC Radio Networks. How does all this make you feel? HARVEY: I don't think in terms of those numbers, Larry, nor do you. (UNINTELLIGIBLE) KING: We just go on, right? Yes, that's true. First and foremost, your health. Your voice went -- tell us what happened. HARVEY: Oh, my. It was a frightening while and a long several months. The voice disappeared. We later learning that a virus had settled itself in one of the vocal chords or in the muscle adjacent to the vocal chord. But, after a lot of prayer and good fortune, we got in contact with one of those wonderful physicians, an ortolarengologist, to whom it was no mystery at all. Works in the opera building, by the way, in Chicago, where he takes care of the opera stars coming and going. KING: What did he do for you? HARVEY: With a slight surgical procedure, he inserted a alongside the muscle, a tiny little piece of plastic, about the size of your little fingernail, to reinforce that muscle until it could regain its strength, until the viral infection had subsided. Then, he said, you can take it out if you want to or leave it in. It won't trouble you. It was a 45-minute in-and-out procedure after all those agonizing months. KING: Does your voice come back that day? HARVEY: Instantly. Oh, my goodness, what a -- I spent a lot of time on my knees that night, Larry. KING: What was it like to not have that voice? HARVEY: Oh... KING: That voice? HARVEY: How can I find the words to answer that question? Since I was 14, that voice has been my vocation, my avocation. It's been my life. KING: Did you think you had -- did you think you had had it, that you might have had to retire? HARVEY: I had to consider that possibility. So I spent a great deal of time feeling sorry for myself, and then settled down at the insistence of my wife and son to start making some notes for a book that I had postponed writing. First, I read 25 and a half books -- 25 and a third books. That third book, by the way, was on broadcasting. I couldn't finish that book because it was so full of all those words that I consider inappropriate and offensive. So I spent my time as fruitfully as I possibly could. KING: One of the kindest things was they called me and asked me to sit in for a week and I couldn't do it because of time limitations, but that was an honor to be asked, just to be asked to sit in for "Paul Harvey News." HARVEY: Well, I know if my wife had anything to do with that request you were the first choice, Larry. KING: Now less than a month after coming back, 9/11 hits. Where were you that morning? HARVEY: I did my regular morning broadcast and I think we saw the first pictures of the planes flying into the towers about 14 minutes after I signed off. So I spent the rest of the morning preparing the noon broadcast with what piecemeal material was incoming. KING: Was that the toughest broadcast? HARVEY: Oh, no. KING: No? HARVEY: No. You see, for one thing, I'm separated from New York by a few miles. Chicago has been home base for most of my professional life. I understand the proximity of that event having influenced our New York-based commentators and probably based there, I would have been similarly influenced. But I guess, from a distance, then and in the days thereafter, I didn't have to worry about my wife or my husband every day being in the next area of a terrorist target. I didn't have to think about people I loved having to go through those tunnels every morning. I didn't have to be preoccupied with that desolate emptiness against the New York sky. I think I could be, not indifferent, but a little less -- a little more objective. KING: No fear for something happening in Chicago? HARVEY: Not really. There wasn't time in those agonizing hours for fear. KING: It has changed all of us. This world has changed. HARVEY: It has, indeed. KING: How has it changed Paul Harvey? HARVEY: It has made him aware that, in these wars, there are no civilians anymore. It bothers me to hear of our planners' deference to the civilian population of such-and-such a target area. There are no civilians anymore anywhere in the world. Certainly, the Middle East demonstrates that every day, almost every hour of every day. Maybe we'll have fewer wars. Maybe we'll find some more civilized means of resolving inter-nation differences if the world population can come to accept the fact that there is no hiding place. KING: You mean, the threat of it all diminishes the threat of it all? HARVEY: If that's not the way to bet, that's the way to pray. KING: Are we going to war in Iraq? HARVEY: I have no insight. It isn't available to everybody these days. I think our Secretary of State is going to make a very convincing case to the United Nations next Wednesday. I think it's the United Nations that's on trial now, not us. KING: You've lived through wars, right? I mean, you've lived through a few of them. HARVEY: Well, as a matter of fact, I can remember in the 1930s, when the United Nations was called the League of Nations until it ignored the intrusion of Japan into Manchuria and China, until it ignored the intrusion of Italy into Ethiopia, until it failed to recognize Hitler for what he was, publicly tearing up the Versailles Treaty. And, so, the League of Nations, impotent, disappeared. KING: How has George W. Bush impressed you? HARVEY: Very favorably. KING: Surprisingly at all? HARVEY: The rapidity of his growth has. I knew him before he was governor of Texas, so, yes. Yes. Yes, I've been a little surprised. What a magnificent team he has. KING: Powell, Rumsfeld, Cheney and the gang. HARVEY: I was sharing the platform very often when General Powell was no longer Head of the Joint Chiefs. He was much in demand as a public speaker. Well, you know how you and I encounter each other backstage rather frequently. Well, I was encountering him rather frequently. I was an admirer and before many meetings, I was a very fond of this man and his wife. One day, I presumed to take him aside and I said, "General, both political parties are going to court you ferociously. Will you please make one promise for me -- just one promise -- that if anybody suggests the vice presidency, I want you to remember a former general of SAC, Curtis Lemay (ph), who was one of the most popular warriors in American history who said yes to the vice presidency and disappeared and was never heard from again." He said, "I promise to remember." KING: He did. HARVEY: And he did. I think in the last few weeks, he must wished that Paul Harvey had also exacted a promise that would include Secretary of State. KING: Paul Harry is our guest. We'll be taking calls for Paul at the bottom of the hour. Lots to talk with him about. We'll be back with the rest of this story right after this. Don't go away. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: Don't let noisy news distress you. Don't let the headline writers rain on your parade. My goodness, there's resiliency in this country. We've not yet begun to use -- as Mark Twain has said to have said of the music of (UNINTELLIGIBLE) , "It's Not Nearly so Bad as it Sounds." Paul Harvey, good day. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: I don't know, I can't make -- I can't make friends with all that technology. My son doesn't understand, either. (SINGING) HARVEY: Half a minute. Hello, Americans, this is Paul Harvey. Stand by for news. (END VIDEO CLIP) KING: What is that, what are you doing there? You're tuning your voice? HARVEY: I started that with a school teacher in Central High School when I was 14 and starting my first job at KVOO, limbering up the vocal cords, breathing from the diaphragm, and it's a habit that's with me to this day. KING: Who is Paul Harvey? Is he a newsman? Is he a personality? Is he a raconteur? Is he a storyteller? Is he a pundit? Is he a commercial? Is he a salesman? HARVEY: He's all of those things, and kind of a professional parade-watcher, who just can't wait to get up every morning. Honestly, Larry, at 1:30 A.M., your West Coast time, and rush down to the teletypes and the telephones to see what wonderful things, hundreds of millions of heroic people have been doing overnight. KING: And why does he like so much telling us? HARVEY: Probably, he's some of an exhibitionist. But, also, when we pray for guidance, and doors continue to open instead of close, a person comes to think of his job as an obligation. To enlighten and inform. KING: So you're all of the above. HARVEY: Probably some of each. KING: What keeps you, if there's a comparison, although he didn't have your personality, the late Gabriel Heater was someone who in World War II kept Americans going by "God there's good news tonight. HARVEY: He did. KING: What keeps you up, you are basically optimistic. HARVEY: Doesn't an historian have to be, Larry? KING: No, I would say, look at the world. Pessimism makes more sense. HARVEY: No. Tomorrow always has been better than today, and it always will be. There is no time in history that Larry King would choose over this one as a time in which to live. KING: Look at all the terrible things you see and have to report on. War and floods and hurricanes. HARVEY: Well, noise makes news. We've had newspapers in this country, I can think of one in particular, which tried to print just good news and it only lasted 14 weeks. It was in Sacramento, California as a matter of fact. People want to be frightened and it's a shame. I think we've become over-newsed for that reason. KING: You think we should return to the draft? HARVEY: I certainly hope we won't think of future wars in terms of marching boys with bayonets. Those weapons have lost our last three wars. KING: You turned against the Vietnam War, did you not? HARVEY: Yes, I did. KING: What caused that? HARVEY: Several factors. I had always been reared with the old MacArthur feeling that the only excuse for getting into a war is to win it. The only justification for war is to win it. And then, one day, I realized that in spite of the expenditure of all of our gold and all of that blood, in Vietnam and in Korea, the most we were able to deliver was a stalemate on the 50 yard line. We'd paid much too high a price for that. And it was then that I suggested that we drive it or park it. KING: Let's touch some other bases. I know a lot of people want to talk to you and we will be taking calls for Paul Harvey. Changes in radio, since you began, many. What do you make of, overall, radio today? HARVEY: Well, of course, I look at it from a news perspective, and I think -- almost every place I go, Larry, there are the little groups backstage, you're familiar with them, and one of the first questions they always want to ask, these news people in Cocamo and Kalamazoo is a paraphrase on the question -- how can we do our jobs better? I think we're aware that we overthrew the United States government just a little more decade ago for better or worse. They're aware of the significance of that awesome weapon we wield. I think this is wholesome. When I was growing up in the old rip-and-read days of radio, we had nothing like that awareness of our responsibility. My, goodness. Today, news people are more conscientious, they're smarter and more capable by far than any of any of their predecessors. KING: The public is well served by American radio? HARVEY: Over served at the moment. And I don't know what to do about that. KING: We'll be right back with more of Paul Harvey, your phone calls in a little while, don't go away. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: Did you hear about the little grade school fellow in Northern Italy? Somebody stole the little lad's lunch. He had brought to school a sack lunch, sandwich, fruit, cookies. Somebody stole it, stole his lunch and two pencils. Well, the little fellow went to the telephone and -- he dialed 911. Of course, police converged, and listened to his tearful appeal. Calmed him down. While they were there, a classmate confessed and returned the stolen goods. Most of it, the sandwich had -- was minus a bite or two. Now, page two. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) KING: I've said this out of his presence, I'll say it in his presence -- it's impossible to have Paul Harvey on your radio to punch the button. You cannot have Paul Harvey on the radio and hit another station. That's how magnetic you are. HARVEY: Oh, my goodness. KING: A top advertising man said about you, "In the advertising business, Paul Harvey is a phenomena. In a league of his own. The only one compared to him would be Oprah." HARVEY: My, goodness. Oh. KING: Does it -- no one sells products like you. Does it diminish the newscaster to pitch a product? HARVEY: I'm going to have to let the listeners judge that for themselves. I would presume to tell them how they should respond. But to me, my, goodness, so frequently, some of the best news that's included in my broadcast is within the body of the commercial. That there really is now a response for such-and-such an illness, that there really is a better way to do this or to do that, that there really is a wonderful way to extend human life and alleviate pain. KING: You just signed a ten-year contract, is that right? HARVEY: Yes. KING: Ten years. You're 84. HARVEY: I am? KING: Are you? HARVEY: I stopped counting at 55. KING: Do you expect to fulfill that contract? HARVEY: Oh, yes. Unless I can find something that's more fun than what I'm doing now, and I certainly haven't been able to find that. KING: But, in other words, you have no desire to ever hang it up. HARVEY: Larry, I've got a chance to hang it up, you know, just not many months ago when I was sidelined. No, oh, I'd hate to have to get up every morning and play golf the way I play golf. KING: What do you make of what's happened to the culture? We seem to be a culture of anything goes. HARVEY: Excesses ultimately, eventually, are their own undoing and that keeps me hopeful. KING: That things will turn? Do you -- do you watch -- do you like reality television? Do you watch television at night? HARVEY: My bedtime is so early, I don't get to see most of the programs, but the few that I particularly enjoy, the family tapes so that I can hear them subsequently. But, no, I'm not addicted to a regimen of sitting by the set. KING: We're going to take a lot of calls for you, Paul, so a couple of other things I want to get in. How did you come up with the pause before "good day"? HARVEY: I'm asked that question a lot and I'm not even aware of it. I'm just pausing between what I'm saying and what I'm thinking about saying. KING: But when you finish, that had to be a thought of... HARVEY: Not really. KING: No? HARVEY: Well, maybe I wasn't reading the clock as accurately as you do and I'd wait for the secondhand to get around to where it belonged and finished with good day. KING: You write all your own copy, right? HARVEY: Yes. KING: And this is a particular talent of yours. Did you start as a writer? HARVEY: No. KING: You were a broadcaster who wrote rather than... HARVEY: I was rip-and-read in the early days, just tear it off the AP machine. KING: You write all your own commercials, too, right? HARVEY: Yes. KING: And this apparent, not nervousness, this thing you go through before you go on and the like, are you -- for example, you're on radio. Early in the morning, right, your first newscast is what time? That you... HARVEY: It goes out of when I'm in Chicago, it goes out of there at 6:30 Chicago time. KING: Why are you wearing a shirt and tie? HARVEY: I've never been asked that. Nor have I ever asked myself. KING: You're dressing up for radio, Paul. HARVEY: Now I'm going to think about it. KING: OK. You can do it in a t-shirt. You could do it in an open collar. HARVEY: Really? (LAUGHTER) KING: You come from that... HARVEY: I want to think about that. KING: So everybody when you started worked up in radio wore a shirt and tie and jacket everyday, right? HARVEY: Yes. Yes, I -- I can't explain why. But I do know that the times that I try to go casual, something is sacrificed. And I can't... KING: Really? HARVEY: ... I can't put my finger on it. KING: You're not as good? HARVEY: I don't know whether that's the word or not, but I'm -- I -- something is -- something is missing. And the engineers tell me this, not just myself. KING: Really? HARVEY: Yes. I had Bob Benninghoff (ph), a longtime engineer, good gracious, 50 years an engineer on "Paul Harvey News." He took me aside on one day and said, You're beginning to sound as casual as you dress. KING: That did it. We'll be right back with your calls for Paul Harvey. You're watching LARRY KING LIVE. Tomorrow night, the cast of a show you would like, "Will & Grace." Don't go away. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: Now, for what it's worth, in Hartford, Connecticut, the chief of police missed a speaking engagement at the local school because he couldn't find the entrance. That's what he says. That he walked around the Hartford school building but could not find an entrance, so he left. Paul Jose Smith suggests any criminals planning to relocate might want to try Hartford. Paul Harvey, good day. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) KING: We're back with Paul Harvey, and as we come back, for the benefit of our viewers, we see a street, looks like Chicago. Paul Harvey Drive. Where is that? HARVEY: Oh, my goodness. It's right at the corner of the River and Michigan Avenue. KING: Paul Harvey Drive, you made it, man! Let's go to calls for Mr. Harvey. Dayton, Texas, hello. CALLER: Hi there. Hi, Mr. Harvey. Hi, Larry. KING: Hi. CALLER: If and when we go to war with Iraq, how would you cover it? HARVEY: How would I cover it? KING: Well, he'd just report every day on the happenings, right? You don't go out anymore, do you? HARVEY: Oh, my, no. I think I -- we have now so many capable people on the war fronts that one from a distance gets a more objective point of view. I would probably cover it from my comfortable accommodations in Chicago. KING: In your old days, you covered things. HARVEY: Oh, yes, I used to chase floods and fires and wars. KING: Do you ever miss the zone, being at the scene? I mean, you're so comfortable now, you've got all you'll ever need, you've got the desk and the broadcast. You ever say, I'd like to be there? HARVEY: Not really, Larry. The world has become an uglier place. And the myopia imposed by your presence in a military situation is frustrating for me. On the war front, you're told pretty much what to say and where to go. KING: Blythewood, South Carolina, hello. CALLER: Hello, Mr. Harvey. HARVEY: Hello. CALLER: I just want to know, are you still doing your broadcast on the Armed Forces Network to the soldiers overseas? HARVEY: Yes, indeed, and thank you for asking. And in addition to that, as Larry mentioned a little earlier, we've, as of recent weeks, patched a broadcast into space. KING: How does that make you feel? HARVEY: Humble. KING: Yes, astronauts asked for you. Tampa, Florida, hello. CALLER: Yes, Larry, my question for Paul Harvey is, with 120 million people in the United States classified as overweight and half of all children suffering from obesity, what do you feel, Mr. Harvey, needs to be done in order to help this generation and future generations when it comes to the problem of obesity, not only in our children but people of all ages? KING: Now, there's a question out of left field. HARVEY: I think he's hit the nail on the head, too, Larry, because it is an area of public and private health which has not been receiving public attention. This individual sounds sufficiently informed and sufficiently animated so that he's already doing what I think we can best do, just spread the gospel of discipline. KING: Because that's simply, you know, politicians don't talk about it when they discuss great health programs, no one discusses overweight. HARVEY: Well, there's nothing to sell. KING: Well, it's a diabetic causes and the like. It's major American health problem. HARVEY: It is. If somebody would come out with a cure for it that would have a price tag on it, then we'd all get interested. KING: Bogalusa, Louisiana, hello. CALLER: Hello, Larry. KING: Hi. CALLER: My question for Mr. Harvey is, he has stories from so many places, a lot of them people have never heard of. How much research does he have to do every day to prepare? KING: Yes. HARVEY: Well, it requires that I get to work rather early, but I come up to my office in the pre-dawn dark and start sorting the United Press and the Associated Press and the Reuters, wires and our ABC stringers all over the world. We have about 600 pairs of eyes now scattered around the world who are constantly reporting the sort of thing that they know Paul Harvey likes to include. So I can't claim credit for those sources, except for the sorting process. When I try to select from tens of thousands of possibilities, those stories which I think you needed to know and those stories which I think you want to know, and each broadcast is supposed to be a combination of those. KING: And who does the rest of the story? HARVEY: Young Paul writes all of the rest of the story -- stories -- and artfully, I might say. KING: How long you've been doing that, now? HARVEY: Let's see. He decided that the rest of the story was a good idea. We both decided that Paul Harvey didn't have the time to take on anything else, anything extracurricular. He agreed that he would do the writing, maybe he's sorry... KING: There's little Paul on the screen now. And bigger Paul. HARVEY: Yes. Even at the cost of stepping aside from a very important concert piano career. And he has since grown into that responsibility. He's an infinitely finer writer than his dad ever was. KING: But that is one great idea, the rest of the story, a great idea. HARVEY: Bill Stern, as you may remember, got caught careless with the truth. Young Paul has been so scrupulous. He has to have two independent sources for anything that he uses, and in controversial subjects, at least three. KING: Albuquerque, New Mexico, for Paul Harvey, hello. CALLER: Hi, Larry. KING: Hi. CALLER: Hi, Mr. Harvey. HARVEY: Good afternoon, good evening, or good morning, whichever it is in Albuquerque. CALLER: My -- I watched you for many, many years. HARVEY: Thank you. CALLER: And my question is, years ago, in the 1960s, I used to watch you on television. You had a religious program. That made my day. And I was wondering why that stopped and if you'd ever consider doing it again. HARVEY: Oh, bless your heart. You're the first person who ever considered it a religious program. KING: What was that? You did that thing, was that on "Good Morning, America"? HARVEY: I just did the rest of the story on "Good Morning, America," but did a news commentary on... KING: He considered it religious. HARVEY: ... a couple of hundred stations, and this gentleman construed the fact that sometimes I would try to separate rightness and wrongness as a religious program. I guess I'm flattered, thank you. KING: Have you ever questioned your faith? HARVEY: But a pulpit is a responsibility infinitely higher than any to which I would aspire. KING: Have you ever questioned your faith? HARVEY: Questioned it? Oh, I think we all did when we were young. As a matter of fact, I was very tardy in my own life coming to a firm conviction. I like the promise of John 3:16, says, "believe and be saved." That's an... (CROSSTALK) HARVEY: So I put that in my pocket and went on about my own willful ways, and it was very tardy in my own life, I'm sorry to say. KING: Did something do it? HARVEY: Yes, I went to a little tiny church in Cave Creek, Arizona, the oldest town in Arizona. Folding chairs. And I sat about 10 rows back. A little visiting clergyman gets up, and the first few words out of his mouth, Angela (ph) thinks, Paul's going to walk out of here, because his grammar was atrocious. But he began talking about baptism. He says, he explained to me baptism, the cleansing and the recovery from the cleansing, in a manner in which it had never been described to me before. And I thought to myself, this gesture is for me. I was the first one on my feet at the end of his -- and I walked for -- but they didn't have a baptismal, or anything, so he arranged to have a little church down in the valley, this is many years ago, a little church down in the valley arranged to let us use their baptismal pond. I went there with Angela (ph) and a few friends one weekend and... KING: Baptized. HARVEY: Yes. And boy, that's where the fun begins, when you stop tearing yourself in half. KING: More of Paul Harvey on this edition of LARRY KING LIVE. Don't go away. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: A father. A father is a thing that is forced to endure childbirth without an anesthetic. A father is a thing that growls when it feels good, and laughs very loud when it's scared half to death. A father is sometimes accused of giving too much time to his business when the little ones are growing up. That's partly fear, too. Fathers are much more easily frightened than mothers. A father never feels entirely worthy of the worship in a child's eyes. He's never quite the hero his daughter thinks; he's never quite the man his son believes him to be, and this worries him sometimes. So he works too hard, to try and smooth the rough places in the road for those of his own who will follow him. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: Now, the rest of the story. I want you to meet Lawrence Zeiger, a young radio announcer on Miami station WTVJ. One day, Lawrence signs off the air to hear he's wanted on the telephone, something named Boom-Boom Giorno? Well the announcer picks up the phone and the voice says, You the kid I was listening to on "News Weekend"? So, Lawrence says, Who are you? The voice says, Boom-Boom Giorno. (END VIDEO CLIP) KING: Oh, you did me. HARVEY: Oh, a wonderful story. KING: You going to finish the whole thing now? No, I got too many people calling, I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed. (CROSSTALK) HARVEY: OK, Lawrence Zeiger didn't know what to think. But Boom-Boom Giorno sounded like somebody to whom he should respond. And Boom-Boom said, you're making a speech next Thursday night. At the shrine auditorium in Fort Lauderdale. Black tie. I'll fill you in later. And he hung up. Well, Lawrence Zeiger figured that this was somebody to whom he should pay attention, and he did, and dutifully, at the appointed time, he drove up Highway 1 to Fort Lauderdale. And he found a man waiting for him in the parking lot. Walked up and said, I'm Boom-Boom Giorno. And Lawrence Zeiger said, I'm pleased to meet you. Boom-Boom said, Come on in. They went into the backstage and he was told, This is a charity fund-raising event for Italian boys. You're expected to say a few funny things, and then sit down. And that's it. After the program was over, it had been reasonably successfully. Indeed a large collection had been taken for the charity in question. On his way out, he is met again, Lawrence Zeiger, by Boom-Boom backstage, who wants to escort him to his car. He reaches into his pocket, pulls out a wad of money and said, What do I owe you, kid? And the kid said, Forget it. Boom-Boom said, Can't do that. We owe you. You got a marker on us. So Lawrence Zeiger said, What do you have in mind? And Boom-Boom said -- Boom-Boom responded with five words that Lawrence Zeiger never forgot to this day. The five words were, Anybody you don't like? And immediately, of course, Lawrence Zeiger is thinking about his station manager, but he didn't mention that. But over the years since, he has thought so many times about Boom-Boom and it has influenced his career to an extent that each of you will especially appreciate because it taught Lawrence Zeiger, a fledgling disc jockey, a youngster from New York who was so utterly inexperienced the significance of paucity in handling our beautiful language. And from that day to this, as he conducts interview programs, you listen. Pay attention now. Instead of what the average interviewer does, wax eloquently about how much he knows about a certain subject, and then asks the interviewee to say yes or no this interviewer will ask questions like, so, What happened? And you have to take it from there. And I just wanted you to know about the night when Lawrence Zeiger learned the significance of brevity and that was when he became Larry King. And now you know the rest of the story. KING: Victoria -- he set that up. Victoria, British Columbia, hello. CALLER: Good evening, gentlemen, how are you? KING: Fine. CALLER: Perhaps, Mr. Harvey, you just answered my question, but I was wondering, of all of the wonderful and anecdotes from the rest of the story that you've shared with us through the years what would you say is your most favorite one or the one which touched you the most deeply? KING: I have a favorite one. Mine was the discovery of champagne by the monk who spilled the wine. HARVEY: Oh, my, Dom Perignon. KING: And now you know the rest of the story. Do you have a favorite rest of the story? HARVEY: It dates back to before "The Rest of the Story" became a regular series, when it was just a segment of my regular broadcast, and that was the one that I broadcast on the occasion of the birth of my son. KING: How's your wife? HARVEY: Wonderfully well, Larry, and, of course, wants to be remembered to you. KING: How long you been married? HARVEY: She won't let me tell. She gave me this ring when she picked up my option for a second 50 years, and that's been quite a few years ago. KING: We'll be back with our remaining -- all-too-quick remaining moments with Paul Harvey. Don't go away. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) KING: As we come back, Paul Harvey day, October 4 in Chicago, what was that like? There's your day. HARVEY: Well, thank you, thank you, Larry. We have a mayor in Chicago now... KING: Good guy. HARVEY: ... who is -- oh, Larry, he is an infinite improvement over his own father, who was a good mayor. But this fellow has embraced that polyglot population with a wonderful warmth that I would never have imagined... KING: Young Daly. HARVEY: ... come to pass. KING: Alliance, Nebraska, hello. CALLER: Good evening, Larry, good evening, Mr. Harvey. HARVEY: Good evening. CALLER: I was just wondering, what do you listen to on the radio? HARVEY: What do I listen to on the radio? I listen to news on my way down very, very early in the pre-dawn dark, and that's about it. KING: You have a winter home in Arizona, right? HARVEY: Yes. KING: And the summers are still spent in Chicago? HARVEY: We -- I -- I'm often asked which is my favorite. I love each of those place better than any place else on earth. KING: Chicago and Phoenix. Chicago's a special place. HARVEY: Indeed. KING: Ain't no city like it. HARVEY: And for a news person, there is no better position from which to see the rest of the world without distortion. KING: Colorado Springs, hello. CALLER: Hello, Larry. Hello, Mr. Harvey. This is a great pleasure to talk to you. HARVEY: Thank you. CALLER: I wanted to ask you about your wonderful story called "The Man and The Birds." HARVEY: My. CALLER: That is so inspiring. I think it's one of the most inspiring things I've ever heard about god and about Jesus. And I wondered if it came from your family or if you could tell about that story. HARVEY: No, ma'am, I can't claim credit for it. The religion editor of the United Press and I tried for many years, while he lived, to search out and find the author of those words. But I think, maybe some things are written without attribution purposefully. Maybe we're not supposed to attribute those words to anybody in particular. But isn't it a very, very moving story? It moves me even yet. KING: Minami, Wisconsin, hello. CALLER: Hello, Larry. Hello, Paul. HARVEY: Howdy, sir. CALLER: My question for you is, over the years, forms of technology and forms of acquiring news has changed so much. And in the changes of technology and in news, what do you consider as the biggest revolution in news radio and how has the news changed and affected you as a broadcaster? KING: Technology, you're anti-technology, aren't you? You're in my class there. HARVEY: Yes, I'm afraid so, Larry. KING: Computers, no. HARVEY: I'm glad to have people around the office who can understand those computers, but I certainly can't. In the old rip- and-read days of radio, we had no option but to reflect somebody else's perspective on the news. The big change is that now, everybody is expressing his view. When I started at ABC, there were three categories of news people; one was the news caster who just read the news as written by somebody else; the second was the news analyst, who had enough veneration to be able to analyze the news; and then, after he got enough miles on him he was able to call himself a commentator. And he had to work his way from one step to the other very tediously. Well, today, anybody can go on the air at anywhere and any time and comment on the news for better or worse. KING: You still an ordinary typewriter? HARVEY: Sure, I still pound every word into an IBM Selectric. I did got that far. I used a manual type writer until a just a few years ago. KING: Aren't you anti-computer? HARVEY: Yes, I think we've outsmarted ourselves, Larry. We got repairmen all over our office there three times a week. My little office in Chicago really doesn't deserve that. KING: You have a cell phone? HARVEY: Yes. KING: You've bowed to that, have you? HARVEY: No, my son keeps giving it to me and I can't be rude. KING: Paul, I can only wish you a longer life and more visits to this program. Why don't you do more television by the way? HARVEY: Well, Larry, I've a pretty full schedule, for one thing. But that invitation means more to me than you can imagine. KING: You're a very special man, Paul Harvey. HARVEY: Before I go... KING: What are you going to do? HARVEY: Your makeup lady... KING: Patty. HARVEY: Patty. KING: What about her? HARVEY: Well, I've been watching myself on your monitor here. She's taken -- would you call my wife and tell her I'm on my way to the airport, and to wait up for me in Phoenix because I'm coming home 40 years younger? Good day. KING: Good day. I'll be back to tell you about tomorrow night. You follow this, after this. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) KING: One of the great joys of being in this business, is you know you are in the same business of someone like Paul Harvey. I had the honor of emceeing his induction into the radio hall of fame. When I went into that hall fame two years later, just to share to the same experience with someone like Paul Harvey. No, way to tell you how a feeling like that is.

THE VICTIM IN A SOUTH FLORIDA SEX TRIAL TAKES THE STAND TO TALK ABOUT HOW HE WAS SEDUCED BY HIS OWN TEACHER. THAT TEACHER IS NOW ON TRIAL...FOR THE ALLEGED AFFAIR.

CNN OFF AIR FTG OF THE LARRY KING SHOW, W/ ABC RADIO COMMENTATOR AND LEGEND PAUL HARVEY. PAUL HARVEY, RADIO LEGEND: Hello, Americans. I'm Paul Harvey. LARRY KING, CNN HOST: Yes, he's here, the one and only. Conservative in his views, distinctive in his voice, titanic in his influence, an 84-year-old living legend of radio. After seven decades on the air, he's America's most listened-to broadcaster. One of the highest paid, too. Paul Harvey for the hour with your calls next on LARRY KING LIVE. HARVEY: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) KING: It's a great pleasure to welcome him back. It's been since 1991 his last appearance. So every decade or so we have him back. Paul Harvey, the broadcasting legend, the most listened-to broadcaster in radio ever. Twenty-four million listeners weekly with that unique blend of news and views. He's the largest one-man network in the world, more than 1,200 radio stations carry "Paul Harvey News" and "The Rest of the Story" and 400 armed forces network stations and he's syndicated in 300 newspapers. And indeed at the request of the astronauts, "Paul Harvey News" has been transmitted to international space station by NASA and ABC Radio Networks. How does all this make you feel? HARVEY: I don't think in terms of those numbers, Larry, nor do you. (UNINTELLIGIBLE) KING: We just go on, right? Yes, that's true. First and foremost, your health. Your voice went -- tell us what happened. HARVEY: Oh, my. It was a frightening while and a long several months. The voice disappeared. We later learning that a virus had settled itself in one of the vocal chords or in the muscle adjacent to the vocal chord. But, after a lot of prayer and good fortune, we got in contact with one of those wonderful physicians, an ortolarengologist, to whom it was no mystery at all. Works in the opera building, by the way, in Chicago, where he takes care of the opera stars coming and going. KING: What did he do for you? HARVEY: With a slight surgical procedure, he inserted a alongside the muscle, a tiny little piece of plastic, about the size of your little fingernail, to reinforce that muscle until it could regain its strength, until the viral infection had subsided. Then, he said, you can take it out if you want to or leave it in. It won't trouble you. It was a 45-minute in-and-out procedure after all those agonizing months. KING: Does your voice come back that day? HARVEY: Instantly. Oh, my goodness, what a -- I spent a lot of time on my knees that night, Larry. KING: What was it like to not have that voice? HARVEY: Oh... KING: That voice? HARVEY: How can I find the words to answer that question? Since I was 14, that voice has been my vocation, my avocation. It's been my life. KING: Did you think you had -- did you think you had had it, that you might have had to retire? HARVEY: I had to consider that possibility. So I spent a great deal of time feeling sorry for myself, and then settled down at the insistence of my wife and son to start making some notes for a book that I had postponed writing. First, I read 25 and a half books -- 25 and a third books. That third book, by the way, was on broadcasting. I couldn't finish that book because it was so full of all those words that I consider inappropriate and offensive. So I spent my time as fruitfully as I possibly could. KING: One of the kindest things was they called me and asked me to sit in for a week and I couldn't do it because of time limitations, but that was an honor to be asked, just to be asked to sit in for "Paul Harvey News." HARVEY: Well, I know if my wife had anything to do with that request you were the first choice, Larry. KING: Now less than a month after coming back, 9/11 hits. Where were you that morning? HARVEY: I did my regular morning broadcast and I think we saw the first pictures of the planes flying into the towers about 14 minutes after I signed off. So I spent the rest of the morning preparing the noon broadcast with what piecemeal material was incoming. KING: Was that the toughest broadcast? HARVEY: Oh, no. KING: No? HARVEY: No. You see, for one thing, I'm separated from New York by a few miles. Chicago has been home base for most of my professional life. I understand the proximity of that event having influenced our New York-based commentators and probably based there, I would have been similarly influenced. But I guess, from a distance, then and in the days thereafter, I didn't have to worry about my wife or my husband every day being in the next area of a terrorist target. I didn't have to think about people I loved having to go through those tunnels every morning. I didn't have to be preoccupied with that desolate emptiness against the New York sky. I think I could be, not indifferent, but a little less -- a little more objective. KING: No fear for something happening in Chicago? HARVEY: Not really. There wasn't time in those agonizing hours for fear. KING: It has changed all of us. This world has changed. HARVEY: It has, indeed. KING: How has it changed Paul Harvey? HARVEY: It has made him aware that, in these wars, there are no civilians anymore. It bothers me to hear of our planners' deference to the civilian population of such-and-such a target area. There are no civilians anymore anywhere in the world. Certainly, the Middle East demonstrates that every day, almost every hour of every day. Maybe we'll have fewer wars. Maybe we'll find some more civilized means of resolving inter-nation differences if the world population can come to accept the fact that there is no hiding place. KING: You mean, the threat of it all diminishes the threat of it all? HARVEY: If that's not the way to bet, that's the way to pray. KING: Are we going to war in Iraq? HARVEY: I have no insight. It isn't available to everybody these days. I think our Secretary of State is going to make a very convincing case to the United Nations next Wednesday. I think it's the United Nations that's on trial now, not us. KING: You've lived through wars, right? I mean, you've lived through a few of them. HARVEY: Well, as a matter of fact, I can remember in the 1930s, when the United Nations was called the League of Nations until it ignored the intrusion of Japan into Manchuria and China, until it ignored the intrusion of Italy into Ethiopia, until it failed to recognize Hitler for what he was, publicly tearing up the Versailles Treaty. And, so, the League of Nations, impotent, disappeared. KING: How has George W. Bush impressed you? HARVEY: Very favorably. KING: Surprisingly at all? HARVEY: The rapidity of his growth has. I knew him before he was governor of Texas, so, yes. Yes. Yes, I've been a little surprised. What a magnificent team he has. KING: Powell, Rumsfeld, Cheney and the gang. HARVEY: I was sharing the platform very often when General Powell was no longer Head of the Joint Chiefs. He was much in demand as a public speaker. Well, you know how you and I encounter each other backstage rather frequently. Well, I was encountering him rather frequently. I was an admirer and before many meetings, I was a very fond of this man and his wife. One day, I presumed to take him aside and I said, "General, both political parties are going to court you ferociously. Will you please make one promise for me -- just one promise -- that if anybody suggests the vice presidency, I want you to remember a former general of SAC, Curtis Lemay (ph), who was one of the most popular warriors in American history who said yes to the vice presidency and disappeared and was never heard from again." He said, "I promise to remember." KING: He did. HARVEY: And he did. I think in the last few weeks, he must wished that Paul Harvey had also exacted a promise that would include Secretary of State. KING: Paul Harry is our guest. We'll be taking calls for Paul at the bottom of the hour. Lots to talk with him about. We'll be back with the rest of this story right after this. Don't go away. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: Don't let noisy news distress you. Don't let the headline writers rain on your parade. My goodness, there's resiliency in this country. We've not yet begun to use -- as Mark Twain has said to have said of the music of (UNINTELLIGIBLE) , "It's Not Nearly so Bad as it Sounds." Paul Harvey, good day. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: I don't know, I can't make -- I can't make friends with all that technology. My son doesn't understand, either. (SINGING) HARVEY: Half a minute. Hello, Americans, this is Paul Harvey. Stand by for news. (END VIDEO CLIP) KING: What is that, what are you doing there? You're tuning your voice? HARVEY: I started that with a school teacher in Central High School when I was 14 and starting my first job at KVOO, limbering up the vocal cords, breathing from the diaphragm, and it's a habit that's with me to this day. KING: Who is Paul Harvey? Is he a newsman? Is he a personality? Is he a raconteur? Is he a storyteller? Is he a pundit? Is he a commercial? Is he a salesman? HARVEY: He's all of those things, and kind of a professional parade-watcher, who just can't wait to get up every morning. Honestly, Larry, at 1:30 A.M., your West Coast time, and rush down to the teletypes and the telephones to see what wonderful things, hundreds of millions of heroic people have been doing overnight. KING: And why does he like so much telling us? HARVEY: Probably, he's some of an exhibitionist. But, also, when we pray for guidance, and doors continue to open instead of close, a person comes to think of his job as an obligation. To enlighten and inform. KING: So you're all of the above. HARVEY: Probably some of each. KING: What keeps you, if there's a comparison, although he didn't have your personality, the late Gabriel Heater was someone who in World War II kept Americans going by "God there's good news tonight. HARVEY: He did. KING: What keeps you up, you are basically optimistic. HARVEY: Doesn't an historian have to be, Larry? KING: No, I would say, look at the world. Pessimism makes more sense. HARVEY: No. Tomorrow always has been better than today, and it always will be. There is no time in history that Larry King would choose over this one as a time in which to live. KING: Look at all the terrible things you see and have to report on. War and floods and hurricanes. HARVEY: Well, noise makes news. We've had newspapers in this country, I can think of one in particular, which tried to print just good news and it only lasted 14 weeks. It was in Sacramento, California as a matter of fact. People want to be frightened and it's a shame. I think we've become over-newsed for that reason. KING: You think we should return to the draft? HARVEY: I certainly hope we won't think of future wars in terms of marching boys with bayonets. Those weapons have lost our last three wars. KING: You turned against the Vietnam War, did you not? HARVEY: Yes, I did. KING: What caused that? HARVEY: Several factors. I had always been reared with the old MacArthur feeling that the only excuse for getting into a war is to win it. The only justification for war is to win it. And then, one day, I realized that in spite of the expenditure of all of our gold and all of that blood, in Vietnam and in Korea, the most we were able to deliver was a stalemate on the 50 yard line. We'd paid much too high a price for that. And it was then that I suggested that we drive it or park it. KING: Let's touch some other bases. I know a lot of people want to talk to you and we will be taking calls for Paul Harvey. Changes in radio, since you began, many. What do you make of, overall, radio today? HARVEY: Well, of course, I look at it from a news perspective, and I think -- almost every place I go, Larry, there are the little groups backstage, you're familiar with them, and one of the first questions they always want to ask, these news people in Cocamo and Kalamazoo is a paraphrase on the question -- how can we do our jobs better? I think we're aware that we overthrew the United States government just a little more decade ago for better or worse. They're aware of the significance of that awesome weapon we wield. I think this is wholesome. When I was growing up in the old rip-and-read days of radio, we had nothing like that awareness of our responsibility. My, goodness. Today, news people are more conscientious, they're smarter and more capable by far than any of any of their predecessors. KING: The public is well served by American radio? HARVEY: Over served at the moment. And I don't know what to do about that. KING: We'll be right back with more of Paul Harvey, your phone calls in a little while, don't go away. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: Did you hear about the little grade school fellow in Northern Italy? Somebody stole the little lad's lunch. He had brought to school a sack lunch, sandwich, fruit, cookies. Somebody stole it, stole his lunch and two pencils. Well, the little fellow went to the telephone and -- he dialed 911. Of course, police converged, and listened to his tearful appeal. Calmed him down. While they were there, a classmate confessed and returned the stolen goods. Most of it, the sandwich had -- was minus a bite or two. Now, page two. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) KING: I've said this out of his presence, I'll say it in his presence -- it's impossible to have Paul Harvey on your radio to punch the button. You cannot have Paul Harvey on the radio and hit another station. That's how magnetic you are. HARVEY: Oh, my goodness. KING: A top advertising man said about you, "In the advertising business, Paul Harvey is a phenomena. In a league of his own. The only one compared to him would be Oprah." HARVEY: My, goodness. Oh. KING: Does it -- no one sells products like you. Does it diminish the newscaster to pitch a product? HARVEY: I'm going to have to let the listeners judge that for themselves. I would presume to tell them how they should respond. But to me, my, goodness, so frequently, some of the best news that's included in my broadcast is within the body of the commercial. That there really is now a response for such-and-such an illness, that there really is a better way to do this or to do that, that there really is a wonderful way to extend human life and alleviate pain. KING: You just signed a ten-year contract, is that right? HARVEY: Yes. KING: Ten years. You're 84. HARVEY: I am? KING: Are you? HARVEY: I stopped counting at 55. KING: Do you expect to fulfill that contract? HARVEY: Oh, yes. Unless I can find something that's more fun than what I'm doing now, and I certainly haven't been able to find that. KING: But, in other words, you have no desire to ever hang it up. HARVEY: Larry, I've got a chance to hang it up, you know, just not many months ago when I was sidelined. No, oh, I'd hate to have to get up every morning and play golf the way I play golf. KING: What do you make of what's happened to the culture? We seem to be a culture of anything goes. HARVEY: Excesses ultimately, eventually, are their own undoing and that keeps me hopeful. KING: That things will turn? Do you -- do you watch -- do you like reality television? Do you watch television at night? HARVEY: My bedtime is so early, I don't get to see most of the programs, but the few that I particularly enjoy, the family tapes so that I can hear them subsequently. But, no, I'm not addicted to a regimen of sitting by the set. KING: We're going to take a lot of calls for you, Paul, so a couple of other things I want to get in. How did you come up with the pause before "good day"? HARVEY: I'm asked that question a lot and I'm not even aware of it. I'm just pausing between what I'm saying and what I'm thinking about saying. KING: But when you finish, that had to be a thought of... HARVEY: Not really. KING: No? HARVEY: Well, maybe I wasn't reading the clock as accurately as you do and I'd wait for the secondhand to get around to where it belonged and finished with good day. KING: You write all your own copy, right? HARVEY: Yes. KING: And this is a particular talent of yours. Did you start as a writer? HARVEY: No. KING: You were a broadcaster who wrote rather than... HARVEY: I was rip-and-read in the early days, just tear it off the AP machine. KING: You write all your own commercials, too, right? HARVEY: Yes. KING: And this apparent, not nervousness, this thing you go through before you go on and the like, are you -- for example, you're on radio. Early in the morning, right, your first newscast is what time? That you... HARVEY: It goes out of when I'm in Chicago, it goes out of there at 6:30 Chicago time. KING: Why are you wearing a shirt and tie? HARVEY: I've never been asked that. Nor have I ever asked myself. KING: You're dressing up for radio, Paul. HARVEY: Now I'm going to think about it. KING: OK. You can do it in a t-shirt. You could do it in an open collar. HARVEY: Really? (LAUGHTER) KING: You come from that... HARVEY: I want to think about that. KING: So everybody when you started worked up in radio wore a shirt and tie and jacket everyday, right? HARVEY: Yes. Yes, I -- I can't explain why. But I do know that the times that I try to go casual, something is sacrificed. And I can't... KING: Really? HARVEY: ... I can't put my finger on it. KING: You're not as good? HARVEY: I don't know whether that's the word or not, but I'm -- I -- something is -- something is missing. And the engineers tell me this, not just myself. KING: Really? HARVEY: Yes. I had Bob Benninghoff (ph), a longtime engineer, good gracious, 50 years an engineer on "Paul Harvey News." He took me aside on one day and said, You're beginning to sound as casual as you dress. KING: That did it. We'll be right back with your calls for Paul Harvey. You're watching LARRY KING LIVE. Tomorrow night, the cast of a show you would like, "Will & Grace." Don't go away. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: Now, for what it's worth, in Hartford, Connecticut, the chief of police missed a speaking engagement at the local school because he couldn't find the entrance. That's what he says. That he walked around the Hartford school building but could not find an entrance, so he left. Paul Jose Smith suggests any criminals planning to relocate might want to try Hartford. Paul Harvey, good day. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) KING: We're back with Paul Harvey, and as we come back, for the benefit of our viewers, we see a street, looks like Chicago. Paul Harvey Drive. Where is that? HARVEY: Oh, my goodness. It's right at the corner of the River and Michigan Avenue. KING: Paul Harvey Drive, you made it, man! Let's go to calls for Mr. Harvey. Dayton, Texas, hello. CALLER: Hi there. Hi, Mr. Harvey. Hi, Larry. KING: Hi. CALLER: If and when we go to war with Iraq, how would you cover it? HARVEY: How would I cover it? KING: Well, he'd just report every day on the happenings, right? You don't go out anymore, do you? HARVEY: Oh, my, no. I think I -- we have now so many capable people on the war fronts that one from a distance gets a more objective point of view. I would probably cover it from my comfortable accommodations in Chicago. KING: In your old days, you covered things. HARVEY: Oh, yes, I used to chase floods and fires and wars. KING: Do you ever miss the zone, being at the scene? I mean, you're so comfortable now, you've got all you'll ever need, you've got the desk and the broadcast. You ever say, I'd like to be there? HARVEY: Not really, Larry. The world has become an uglier place. And the myopia imposed by your presence in a military situation is frustrating for me. On the war front, you're told pretty much what to say and where to go. KING: Blythewood, South Carolina, hello. CALLER: Hello, Mr. Harvey. HARVEY: Hello. CALLER: I just want to know, are you still doing your broadcast on the Armed Forces Network to the soldiers overseas? HARVEY: Yes, indeed, and thank you for asking. And in addition to that, as Larry mentioned a little earlier, we've, as of recent weeks, patched a broadcast into space. KING: How does that make you feel? HARVEY: Humble. KING: Yes, astronauts asked for you. Tampa, Florida, hello. CALLER: Yes, Larry, my question for Paul Harvey is, with 120 million people in the United States classified as overweight and half of all children suffering from obesity, what do you feel, Mr. Harvey, needs to be done in order to help this generation and future generations when it comes to the problem of obesity, not only in our children but people of all ages? KING: Now, there's a question out of left field. HARVEY: I think he's hit the nail on the head, too, Larry, because it is an area of public and private health which has not been receiving public attention. This individual sounds sufficiently informed and sufficiently animated so that he's already doing what I think we can best do, just spread the gospel of discipline. KING: Because that's simply, you know, politicians don't talk about it when they discuss great health programs, no one discusses overweight. HARVEY: Well, there's nothing to sell. KING: Well, it's a diabetic causes and the like. It's major American health problem. HARVEY: It is. If somebody would come out with a cure for it that would have a price tag on it, then we'd all get interested. KING: Bogalusa, Louisiana, hello. CALLER: Hello, Larry. KING: Hi. CALLER: My question for Mr. Harvey is, he has stories from so many places, a lot of them people have never heard of. How much research does he have to do every day to prepare? KING: Yes. HARVEY: Well, it requires that I get to work rather early, but I come up to my office in the pre-dawn dark and start sorting the United Press and the Associated Press and the Reuters, wires and our ABC stringers all over the world. We have about 600 pairs of eyes now scattered around the world who are constantly reporting the sort of thing that they know Paul Harvey likes to include. So I can't claim credit for those sources, except for the sorting process. When I try to select from tens of thousands of possibilities, those stories which I think you needed to know and those stories which I think you want to know, and each broadcast is supposed to be a combination of those. KING: And who does the rest of the story? HARVEY: Young Paul writes all of the rest of the story -- stories -- and artfully, I might say. KING: How long you've been doing that, now? HARVEY: Let's see. He decided that the rest of the story was a good idea. We both decided that Paul Harvey didn't have the time to take on anything else, anything extracurricular. He agreed that he would do the writing, maybe he's sorry... KING: There's little Paul on the screen now. And bigger Paul. HARVEY: Yes. Even at the cost of stepping aside from a very important concert piano career. And he has since grown into that responsibility. He's an infinitely finer writer than his dad ever was. KING: But that is one great idea, the rest of the story, a great idea. HARVEY: Bill Stern, as you may remember, got caught careless with the truth. Young Paul has been so scrupulous. He has to have two independent sources for anything that he uses, and in controversial subjects, at least three. KING: Albuquerque, New Mexico, for Paul Harvey, hello. CALLER: Hi, Larry. KING: Hi. CALLER: Hi, Mr. Harvey. HARVEY: Good afternoon, good evening, or good morning, whichever it is in Albuquerque. CALLER: My -- I watched you for many, many years. HARVEY: Thank you. CALLER: And my question is, years ago, in the 1960s, I used to watch you on television. You had a religious program. That made my day. And I was wondering why that stopped and if you'd ever consider doing it again. HARVEY: Oh, bless your heart. You're the first person who ever considered it a religious program. KING: What was that? You did that thing, was that on "Good Morning, America"? HARVEY: I just did the rest of the story on "Good Morning, America," but did a news commentary on... KING: He considered it religious. HARVEY: ... a couple of hundred stations, and this gentleman construed the fact that sometimes I would try to separate rightness and wrongness as a religious program. I guess I'm flattered, thank you. KING: Have you ever questioned your faith? HARVEY: But a pulpit is a responsibility infinitely higher than any to which I would aspire. KING: Have you ever questioned your faith? HARVEY: Questioned it? Oh, I think we all did when we were young. As a matter of fact, I was very tardy in my own life coming to a firm conviction. I like the promise of John 3:16, says, "believe and be saved." That's an... (CROSSTALK) HARVEY: So I put that in my pocket and went on about my own willful ways, and it was very tardy in my own life, I'm sorry to say. KING: Did something do it? HARVEY: Yes, I went to a little tiny church in Cave Creek, Arizona, the oldest town in Arizona. Folding chairs. And I sat about 10 rows back. A little visiting clergyman gets up, and the first few words out of his mouth, Angela (ph) thinks, Paul's going to walk out of here, because his grammar was atrocious. But he began talking about baptism. He says, he explained to me baptism, the cleansing and the recovery from the cleansing, in a manner in which it had never been described to me before. And I thought to myself, this gesture is for me. I was the first one on my feet at the end of his -- and I walked for -- but they didn't have a baptismal, or anything, so he arranged to have a little church down in the valley, this is many years ago, a little church down in the valley arranged to let us use their baptismal pond. I went there with Angela (ph) and a few friends one weekend and... KING: Baptized. HARVEY: Yes. And boy, that's where the fun begins, when you stop tearing yourself in half. KING: More of Paul Harvey on this edition of LARRY KING LIVE. Don't go away. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: A father. A father is a thing that is forced to endure childbirth without an anesthetic. A father is a thing that growls when it feels good, and laughs very loud when it's scared half to death. A father is sometimes accused of giving too much time to his business when the little ones are growing up. That's partly fear, too. Fathers are much more easily frightened than mothers. A father never feels entirely worthy of the worship in a child's eyes. He's never quite the hero his daughter thinks; he's never quite the man his son believes him to be, and this worries him sometimes. So he works too hard, to try and smooth the rough places in the road for those of his own who will follow him. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: Now, the rest of the story. I want you to meet Lawrence Zeiger, a young radio announcer on Miami station WTVJ. One day, Lawrence signs off the air to hear he's wanted on the telephone, something named Boom-Boom Giorno? Well the announcer picks up the phone and the voice says, You the kid I was listening to on "News Weekend"? So, Lawrence says, Who are you? The voice says, Boom-Boom Giorno. (END VIDEO CLIP) KING: Oh, you did me. HARVEY: Oh, a wonderful story. KING: You going to finish the whole thing now? No, I got too many people calling, I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed. (CROSSTALK) HARVEY: OK, Lawrence Zeiger didn't know what to think. But Boom-Boom Giorno sounded like somebody to whom he should respond. And Boom-Boom said, you're making a speech next Thursday night. At the shrine auditorium in Fort Lauderdale. Black tie. I'll fill you in later. And he hung up. Well, Lawrence Zeiger figured that this was somebody to whom he should pay attention, and he did, and dutifully, at the appointed time, he drove up Highway 1 to Fort Lauderdale. And he found a man waiting for him in the parking lot. Walked up and said, I'm Boom-Boom Giorno. And Lawrence Zeiger said, I'm pleased to meet you. Boom-Boom said, Come on in. They went into the backstage and he was told, This is a charity fund-raising event for Italian boys. You're expected to say a few funny things, and then sit down. And that's it. After the program was over, it had been reasonably successfully. Indeed a large collection had been taken for the charity in question. On his way out, he is met again, Lawrence Zeiger, by Boom-Boom backstage, who wants to escort him to his car. He reaches into his pocket, pulls out a wad of money and said, What do I owe you, kid? And the kid said, Forget it. Boom-Boom said, Can't do that. We owe you. You got a marker on us. So Lawrence Zeiger said, What do you have in mind? And Boom-Boom said -- Boom-Boom responded with five words that Lawrence Zeiger never forgot to this day. The five words were, Anybody you don't like? And immediately, of course, Lawrence Zeiger is thinking about his station manager, but he didn't mention that. But over the years since, he has thought so many times about Boom-Boom and it has influenced his career to an extent that each of you will especially appreciate because it taught Lawrence Zeiger, a fledgling disc jockey, a youngster from New York who was so utterly inexperienced the significance of paucity in handling our beautiful language. And from that day to this, as he conducts interview programs, you listen. Pay attention now. Instead of what the average interviewer does, wax eloquently about how much he knows about a certain subject, and then asks the interviewee to say yes or no this interviewer will ask questions like, so, What happened? And you have to take it from there. And I just wanted you to know about the night when Lawrence Zeiger learned the significance of brevity and that was when he became Larry King. And now you know the rest of the story. KING: Victoria -- he set that up. Victoria, British Columbia, hello. CALLER: Good evening, gentlemen, how are you? KING: Fine. CALLER: Perhaps, Mr. Harvey, you just answered my question, but I was wondering, of all of the wonderful and anecdotes from the rest of the story that you've shared with us through the years what would you say is your most favorite one or the one which touched you the most deeply? KING: I have a favorite one. Mine was the discovery of champagne by the monk who spilled the wine. HARVEY: Oh, my, Dom Perignon. KING: And now you know the rest of the story. Do you have a favorite rest of the story? HARVEY: It dates back to before "The Rest of the Story" became a regular series, when it was just a segment of my regular broadcast, and that was the one that I broadcast on the occasion of the birth of my son. KING: How's your wife? HARVEY: Wonderfully well, Larry, and, of course, wants to be remembered to you. KING: How long you been married? HARVEY: She won't let me tell. She gave me this ring when she picked up my option for a second 50 years, and that's been quite a few years ago. KING: We'll be back with our remaining -- all-too-quick remaining moments with Paul Harvey. Don't go away. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) KING: As we come back, Paul Harvey day, October 4 in Chicago, what was that like? There's your day. HARVEY: Well, thank you, thank you, Larry. We have a mayor in Chicago now... KING: Good guy. HARVEY: ... who is -- oh, Larry, he is an infinite improvement over his own father, who was a good mayor. But this fellow has embraced that polyglot population with a wonderful warmth that I would never have imagined... KING: Young Daly. HARVEY: ... come to pass. KING: Alliance, Nebraska, hello. CALLER: Good evening, Larry, good evening, Mr. Harvey. HARVEY: Good evening. CALLER: I was just wondering, what do you listen to on the radio? HARVEY: What do I listen to on the radio? I listen to news on my way down very, very early in the pre-dawn dark, and that's about it. KING: You have a winter home in Arizona, right? HARVEY: Yes. KING: And the summers are still spent in Chicago? HARVEY: We -- I -- I'm often asked which is my favorite. I love each of those place better than any place else on earth. KING: Chicago and Phoenix. Chicago's a special place. HARVEY: Indeed. KING: Ain't no city like it. HARVEY: And for a news person, there is no better position from which to see the rest of the world without distortion. KING: Colorado Springs, hello. CALLER: Hello, Larry. Hello, Mr. Harvey. This is a great pleasure to talk to you. HARVEY: Thank you. CALLER: I wanted to ask you about your wonderful story called "The Man and The Birds." HARVEY: My. CALLER: That is so inspiring. I think it's one of the most inspiring things I've ever heard about god and about Jesus. And I wondered if it came from your family or if you could tell about that story. HARVEY: No, ma'am, I can't claim credit for it. The religion editor of the United Press and I tried for many years, while he lived, to search out and find the author of those words. But I think, maybe some things are written without attribution purposefully. Maybe we're not supposed to attribute those words to anybody in particular. But isn't it a very, very moving story? It moves me even yet. KING: Minami, Wisconsin, hello. CALLER: Hello, Larry. Hello, Paul. HARVEY: Howdy, sir. CALLER: My question for you is, over the years, forms of technology and forms of acquiring news has changed so much. And in the changes of technology and in news, what do you consider as the biggest revolution in news radio and how has the news changed and affected you as a broadcaster? KING: Technology, you're anti-technology, aren't you? You're in my class there. HARVEY: Yes, I'm afraid so, Larry. KING: Computers, no. HARVEY: I'm glad to have people around the office who can understand those computers, but I certainly can't. In the old rip- and-read days of radio, we had no option but to reflect somebody else's perspective on the news. The big change is that now, everybody is expressing his view. When I started at ABC, there were three categories of news people; one was the news caster who just read the news as written by somebody else; the second was the news analyst, who had enough veneration to be able to analyze the news; and then, after he got enough miles on him he was able to call himself a commentator. And he had to work his way from one step to the other very tediously. Well, today, anybody can go on the air at anywhere and any time and comment on the news for better or worse. KING: You still an ordinary typewriter? HARVEY: Sure, I still pound every word into an IBM Selectric. I did got that far. I used a manual type writer until a just a few years ago. KING: Aren't you anti-computer? HARVEY: Yes, I think we've outsmarted ourselves, Larry. We got repairmen all over our office there three times a week. My little office in Chicago really doesn't deserve that. KING: You have a cell phone? HARVEY: Yes. KING: You've bowed to that, have you? HARVEY: No, my son keeps giving it to me and I can't be rude. KING: Paul, I can only wish you a longer life and more visits to this program. Why don't you do more television by the way? HARVEY: Well, Larry, I've a pretty full schedule, for one thing. But that invitation means more to me than you can imagine. KING: You're a very special man, Paul Harvey. HARVEY: Before I go... KING: What are you going to do? HARVEY: Your makeup lady... KING: Patty. HARVEY: Patty. KING: What about her? HARVEY: Well, I've been watching myself on your monitor here. She's taken -- would you call my wife and tell her I'm on my way to the airport, and to wait up for me in Phoenix because I'm coming home 40 years younger? Good day. KING: Good day. I'll be back to tell you about tomorrow night. You follow this, after this. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) KING: One of the great joys of being in this business, is you know you are in the same business of someone like Paul Harvey. I had the honor of emceeing his induction into the radio hall of fame. When I went into that hall fame two years later, just to share to the same experience with someone like Paul Harvey. No, way to tell you how a feeling like that is.

Navigating on the Intracoastal Waterway in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA

CNN OFF AIR FTG OF THE LARRY KING SHOW, W/ ABC RADIO COMMENTATOR AND LEGEND PAUL HARVEY. PAUL HARVEY, RADIO LEGEND: Hello, Americans. I'm Paul Harvey. LARRY KING, CNN HOST: Yes, he's here, the one and only. Conservative in his views, distinctive in his voice, titanic in his influence, an 84-year-old living legend of radio. After seven decades on the air, he's America's most listened-to broadcaster. One of the highest paid, too. Paul Harvey for the hour with your calls next on LARRY KING LIVE. HARVEY: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) KING: It's a great pleasure to welcome him back. It's been since 1991 his last appearance. So every decade or so we have him back. Paul Harvey, the broadcasting legend, the most listened-to broadcaster in radio ever. Twenty-four million listeners weekly with that unique blend of news and views. He's the largest one-man network in the world, more than 1,200 radio stations carry "Paul Harvey News" and "The Rest of the Story" and 400 armed forces network stations and he's syndicated in 300 newspapers. And indeed at the request of the astronauts, "Paul Harvey News" has been transmitted to international space station by NASA and ABC Radio Networks. How does all this make you feel? HARVEY: I don't think in terms of those numbers, Larry, nor do you. (UNINTELLIGIBLE) KING: We just go on, right? Yes, that's true. First and foremost, your health. Your voice went -- tell us what happened. HARVEY: Oh, my. It was a frightening while and a long several months. The voice disappeared. We later learning that a virus had settled itself in one of the vocal chords or in the muscle adjacent to the vocal chord. But, after a lot of prayer and good fortune, we got in contact with one of those wonderful physicians, an ortolarengologist, to whom it was no mystery at all. Works in the opera building, by the way, in Chicago, where he takes care of the opera stars coming and going. KING: What did he do for you? HARVEY: With a slight surgical procedure, he inserted a alongside the muscle, a tiny little piece of plastic, about the size of your little fingernail, to reinforce that muscle until it could regain its strength, until the viral infection had subsided. Then, he said, you can take it out if you want to or leave it in. It won't trouble you. It was a 45-minute in-and-out procedure after all those agonizing months. KING: Does your voice come back that day? HARVEY: Instantly. Oh, my goodness, what a -- I spent a lot of time on my knees that night, Larry. KING: What was it like to not have that voice? HARVEY: Oh... KING: That voice? HARVEY: How can I find the words to answer that question? Since I was 14, that voice has been my vocation, my avocation. It's been my life. KING: Did you think you had -- did you think you had had it, that you might have had to retire? HARVEY: I had to consider that possibility. So I spent a great deal of time feeling sorry for myself, and then settled down at the insistence of my wife and son to start making some notes for a book that I had postponed writing. First, I read 25 and a half books -- 25 and a third books. That third book, by the way, was on broadcasting. I couldn't finish that book because it was so full of all those words that I consider inappropriate and offensive. So I spent my time as fruitfully as I possibly could. KING: One of the kindest things was they called me and asked me to sit in for a week and I couldn't do it because of time limitations, but that was an honor to be asked, just to be asked to sit in for "Paul Harvey News." HARVEY: Well, I know if my wife had anything to do with that request you were the first choice, Larry. KING: Now less than a month after coming back, 9/11 hits. Where were you that morning? HARVEY: I did my regular morning broadcast and I think we saw the first pictures of the planes flying into the towers about 14 minutes after I signed off. So I spent the rest of the morning preparing the noon broadcast with what piecemeal material was incoming. KING: Was that the toughest broadcast? HARVEY: Oh, no. KING: No? HARVEY: No. You see, for one thing, I'm separated from New York by a few miles. Chicago has been home base for most of my professional life. I understand the proximity of that event having influenced our New York-based commentators and probably based there, I would have been similarly influenced. But I guess, from a distance, then and in the days thereafter, I didn't have to worry about my wife or my husband every day being in the next area of a terrorist target. I didn't have to think about people I loved having to go through those tunnels every morning. I didn't have to be preoccupied with that desolate emptiness against the New York sky. I think I could be, not indifferent, but a little less -- a little more objective. KING: No fear for something happening in Chicago? HARVEY: Not really. There wasn't time in those agonizing hours for fear. KING: It has changed all of us. This world has changed. HARVEY: It has, indeed. KING: How has it changed Paul Harvey? HARVEY: It has made him aware that, in these wars, there are no civilians anymore. It bothers me to hear of our planners' deference to the civilian population of such-and-such a target area. There are no civilians anymore anywhere in the world. Certainly, the Middle East demonstrates that every day, almost every hour of every day. Maybe we'll have fewer wars. Maybe we'll find some more civilized means of resolving inter-nation differences if the world population can come to accept the fact that there is no hiding place. KING: You mean, the threat of it all diminishes the threat of it all? HARVEY: If that's not the way to bet, that's the way to pray. KING: Are we going to war in Iraq? HARVEY: I have no insight. It isn't available to everybody these days. I think our Secretary of State is going to make a very convincing case to the United Nations next Wednesday. I think it's the United Nations that's on trial now, not us. KING: You've lived through wars, right? I mean, you've lived through a few of them. HARVEY: Well, as a matter of fact, I can remember in the 1930s, when the United Nations was called the League of Nations until it ignored the intrusion of Japan into Manchuria and China, until it ignored the intrusion of Italy into Ethiopia, until it failed to recognize Hitler for what he was, publicly tearing up the Versailles Treaty. And, so, the League of Nations, impotent, disappeared. KING: How has George W. Bush impressed you? HARVEY: Very favorably. KING: Surprisingly at all? HARVEY: The rapidity of his growth has. I knew him before he was governor of Texas, so, yes. Yes. Yes, I've been a little surprised. What a magnificent team he has. KING: Powell, Rumsfeld, Cheney and the gang. HARVEY: I was sharing the platform very often when General Powell was no longer Head of the Joint Chiefs. He was much in demand as a public speaker. Well, you know how you and I encounter each other backstage rather frequently. Well, I was encountering him rather frequently. I was an admirer and before many meetings, I was a very fond of this man and his wife. One day, I presumed to take him aside and I said, "General, both political parties are going to court you ferociously. Will you please make one promise for me -- just one promise -- that if anybody suggests the vice presidency, I want you to remember a former general of SAC, Curtis Lemay (ph), who was one of the most popular warriors in American history who said yes to the vice presidency and disappeared and was never heard from again." He said, "I promise to remember." KING: He did. HARVEY: And he did. I think in the last few weeks, he must wished that Paul Harvey had also exacted a promise that would include Secretary of State. KING: Paul Harry is our guest. We'll be taking calls for Paul at the bottom of the hour. Lots to talk with him about. We'll be back with the rest of this story right after this. Don't go away. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: Don't let noisy news distress you. Don't let the headline writers rain on your parade. My goodness, there's resiliency in this country. We've not yet begun to use -- as Mark Twain has said to have said of the music of (UNINTELLIGIBLE) , "It's Not Nearly so Bad as it Sounds." Paul Harvey, good day. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: I don't know, I can't make -- I can't make friends with all that technology. My son doesn't understand, either. (SINGING) HARVEY: Half a minute. Hello, Americans, this is Paul Harvey. Stand by for news. (END VIDEO CLIP) KING: What is that, what are you doing there? You're tuning your voice? HARVEY: I started that with a school teacher in Central High School when I was 14 and starting my first job at KVOO, limbering up the vocal cords, breathing from the diaphragm, and it's a habit that's with me to this day. KING: Who is Paul Harvey? Is he a newsman? Is he a personality? Is he a raconteur? Is he a storyteller? Is he a pundit? Is he a commercial? Is he a salesman? HARVEY: He's all of those things, and kind of a professional parade-watcher, who just can't wait to get up every morning. Honestly, Larry, at 1:30 A.M., your West Coast time, and rush down to the teletypes and the telephones to see what wonderful things, hundreds of millions of heroic people have been doing overnight. KING: And why does he like so much telling us? HARVEY: Probably, he's some of an exhibitionist. But, also, when we pray for guidance, and doors continue to open instead of close, a person comes to think of his job as an obligation. To enlighten and inform. KING: So you're all of the above. HARVEY: Probably some of each. KING: What keeps you, if there's a comparison, although he didn't have your personality, the late Gabriel Heater was someone who in World War II kept Americans going by "God there's good news tonight. HARVEY: He did. KING: What keeps you up, you are basically optimistic. HARVEY: Doesn't an historian have to be, Larry? KING: No, I would say, look at the world. Pessimism makes more sense. HARVEY: No. Tomorrow always has been better than today, and it always will be. There is no time in history that Larry King would choose over this one as a time in which to live. KING: Look at all the terrible things you see and have to report on. War and floods and hurricanes. HARVEY: Well, noise makes news. We've had newspapers in this country, I can think of one in particular, which tried to print just good news and it only lasted 14 weeks. It was in Sacramento, California as a matter of fact. People want to be frightened and it's a shame. I think we've become over-newsed for that reason. KING: You think we should return to the draft? HARVEY: I certainly hope we won't think of future wars in terms of marching boys with bayonets. Those weapons have lost our last three wars. KING: You turned against the Vietnam War, did you not? HARVEY: Yes, I did. KING: What caused that? HARVEY: Several factors. I had always been reared with the old MacArthur feeling that the only excuse for getting into a war is to win it. The only justification for war is to win it. And then, one day, I realized that in spite of the expenditure of all of our gold and all of that blood, in Vietnam and in Korea, the most we were able to deliver was a stalemate on the 50 yard line. We'd paid much too high a price for that. And it was then that I suggested that we drive it or park it. KING: Let's touch some other bases. I know a lot of people want to talk to you and we will be taking calls for Paul Harvey. Changes in radio, since you began, many. What do you make of, overall, radio today? HARVEY: Well, of course, I look at it from a news perspective, and I think -- almost every place I go, Larry, there are the little groups backstage, you're familiar with them, and one of the first questions they always want to ask, these news people in Cocamo and Kalamazoo is a paraphrase on the question -- how can we do our jobs better? I think we're aware that we overthrew the United States government just a little more decade ago for better or worse. They're aware of the significance of that awesome weapon we wield. I think this is wholesome. When I was growing up in the old rip-and-read days of radio, we had nothing like that awareness of our responsibility. My, goodness. Today, news people are more conscientious, they're smarter and more capable by far than any of any of their predecessors. KING: The public is well served by American radio? HARVEY: Over served at the moment. And I don't know what to do about that. KING: We'll be right back with more of Paul Harvey, your phone calls in a little while, don't go away. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: Did you hear about the little grade school fellow in Northern Italy? Somebody stole the little lad's lunch. He had brought to school a sack lunch, sandwich, fruit, cookies. Somebody stole it, stole his lunch and two pencils. Well, the little fellow went to the telephone and -- he dialed 911. Of course, police converged, and listened to his tearful appeal. Calmed him down. While they were there, a classmate confessed and returned the stolen goods. Most of it, the sandwich had -- was minus a bite or two. Now, page two. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) KING: I've said this out of his presence, I'll say it in his presence -- it's impossible to have Paul Harvey on your radio to punch the button. You cannot have Paul Harvey on the radio and hit another station. That's how magnetic you are. HARVEY: Oh, my goodness. KING: A top advertising man said about you, "In the advertising business, Paul Harvey is a phenomena. In a league of his own. The only one compared to him would be Oprah." HARVEY: My, goodness. Oh. KING: Does it -- no one sells products like you. Does it diminish the newscaster to pitch a product? HARVEY: I'm going to have to let the listeners judge that for themselves. I would presume to tell them how they should respond. But to me, my, goodness, so frequently, some of the best news that's included in my broadcast is within the body of the commercial. That there really is now a response for such-and-such an illness, that there really is a better way to do this or to do that, that there really is a wonderful way to extend human life and alleviate pain. KING: You just signed a ten-year contract, is that right? HARVEY: Yes. KING: Ten years. You're 84. HARVEY: I am? KING: Are you? HARVEY: I stopped counting at 55. KING: Do you expect to fulfill that contract? HARVEY: Oh, yes. Unless I can find something that's more fun than what I'm doing now, and I certainly haven't been able to find that. KING: But, in other words, you have no desire to ever hang it up. HARVEY: Larry, I've got a chance to hang it up, you know, just not many months ago when I was sidelined. No, oh, I'd hate to have to get up every morning and play golf the way I play golf. KING: What do you make of what's happened to the culture? We seem to be a culture of anything goes. HARVEY: Excesses ultimately, eventually, are their own undoing and that keeps me hopeful. KING: That things will turn? Do you -- do you watch -- do you like reality television? Do you watch television at night? HARVEY: My bedtime is so early, I don't get to see most of the programs, but the few that I particularly enjoy, the family tapes so that I can hear them subsequently. But, no, I'm not addicted to a regimen of sitting by the set. KING: We're going to take a lot of calls for you, Paul, so a couple of other things I want to get in. How did you come up with the pause before "good day"? HARVEY: I'm asked that question a lot and I'm not even aware of it. I'm just pausing between what I'm saying and what I'm thinking about saying. KING: But when you finish, that had to be a thought of... HARVEY: Not really. KING: No? HARVEY: Well, maybe I wasn't reading the clock as accurately as you do and I'd wait for the secondhand to get around to where it belonged and finished with good day. KING: You write all your own copy, right? HARVEY: Yes. KING: And this is a particular talent of yours. Did you start as a writer? HARVEY: No. KING: You were a broadcaster who wrote rather than... HARVEY: I was rip-and-read in the early days, just tear it off the AP machine. KING: You write all your own commercials, too, right? HARVEY: Yes. KING: And this apparent, not nervousness, this thing you go through before you go on and the like, are you -- for example, you're on radio. Early in the morning, right, your first newscast is what time? That you... HARVEY: It goes out of when I'm in Chicago, it goes out of there at 6:30 Chicago time. KING: Why are you wearing a shirt and tie? HARVEY: I've never been asked that. Nor have I ever asked myself. KING: You're dressing up for radio, Paul. HARVEY: Now I'm going to think about it. KING: OK. You can do it in a t-shirt. You could do it in an open collar. HARVEY: Really? (LAUGHTER) KING: You come from that... HARVEY: I want to think about that. KING: So everybody when you started worked up in radio wore a shirt and tie and jacket everyday, right? HARVEY: Yes. Yes, I -- I can't explain why. But I do know that the times that I try to go casual, something is sacrificed. And I can't... KING: Really? HARVEY: ... I can't put my finger on it. KING: You're not as good? HARVEY: I don't know whether that's the word or not, but I'm -- I -- something is -- something is missing. And the engineers tell me this, not just myself. KING: Really? HARVEY: Yes. I had Bob Benninghoff (ph), a longtime engineer, good gracious, 50 years an engineer on "Paul Harvey News." He took me aside on one day and said, You're beginning to sound as casual as you dress. KING: That did it. We'll be right back with your calls for Paul Harvey. You're watching LARRY KING LIVE. Tomorrow night, the cast of a show you would like, "Will & Grace." Don't go away. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: Now, for what it's worth, in Hartford, Connecticut, the chief of police missed a speaking engagement at the local school because he couldn't find the entrance. That's what he says. That he walked around the Hartford school building but could not find an entrance, so he left. Paul Jose Smith suggests any criminals planning to relocate might want to try Hartford. Paul Harvey, good day. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) KING: We're back with Paul Harvey, and as we come back, for the benefit of our viewers, we see a street, looks like Chicago. Paul Harvey Drive. Where is that? HARVEY: Oh, my goodness. It's right at the corner of the River and Michigan Avenue. KING: Paul Harvey Drive, you made it, man! Let's go to calls for Mr. Harvey. Dayton, Texas, hello. CALLER: Hi there. Hi, Mr. Harvey. Hi, Larry. KING: Hi. CALLER: If and when we go to war with Iraq, how would you cover it? HARVEY: How would I cover it? KING: Well, he'd just report every day on the happenings, right? You don't go out anymore, do you? HARVEY: Oh, my, no. I think I -- we have now so many capable people on the war fronts that one from a distance gets a more objective point of view. I would probably cover it from my comfortable accommodations in Chicago. KING: In your old days, you covered things. HARVEY: Oh, yes, I used to chase floods and fires and wars. KING: Do you ever miss the zone, being at the scene? I mean, you're so comfortable now, you've got all you'll ever need, you've got the desk and the broadcast. You ever say, I'd like to be there? HARVEY: Not really, Larry. The world has become an uglier place. And the myopia imposed by your presence in a military situation is frustrating for me. On the war front, you're told pretty much what to say and where to go. KING: Blythewood, South Carolina, hello. CALLER: Hello, Mr. Harvey. HARVEY: Hello. CALLER: I just want to know, are you still doing your broadcast on the Armed Forces Network to the soldiers overseas? HARVEY: Yes, indeed, and thank you for asking. And in addition to that, as Larry mentioned a little earlier, we've, as of recent weeks, patched a broadcast into space. KING: How does that make you feel? HARVEY: Humble. KING: Yes, astronauts asked for you. Tampa, Florida, hello. CALLER: Yes, Larry, my question for Paul Harvey is, with 120 million people in the United States classified as overweight and half of all children suffering from obesity, what do you feel, Mr. Harvey, needs to be done in order to help this generation and future generations when it comes to the problem of obesity, not only in our children but people of all ages? KING: Now, there's a question out of left field. HARVEY: I think he's hit the nail on the head, too, Larry, because it is an area of public and private health which has not been receiving public attention. This individual sounds sufficiently informed and sufficiently animated so that he's already doing what I think we can best do, just spread the gospel of discipline. KING: Because that's simply, you know, politicians don't talk about it when they discuss great health programs, no one discusses overweight. HARVEY: Well, there's nothing to sell. KING: Well, it's a diabetic causes and the like. It's major American health problem. HARVEY: It is. If somebody would come out with a cure for it that would have a price tag on it, then we'd all get interested. KING: Bogalusa, Louisiana, hello. CALLER: Hello, Larry. KING: Hi. CALLER: My question for Mr. Harvey is, he has stories from so many places, a lot of them people have never heard of. How much research does he have to do every day to prepare? KING: Yes. HARVEY: Well, it requires that I get to work rather early, but I come up to my office in the pre-dawn dark and start sorting the United Press and the Associated Press and the Reuters, wires and our ABC stringers all over the world. We have about 600 pairs of eyes now scattered around the world who are constantly reporting the sort of thing that they know Paul Harvey likes to include. So I can't claim credit for those sources, except for the sorting process. When I try to select from tens of thousands of possibilities, those stories which I think you needed to know and those stories which I think you want to know, and each broadcast is supposed to be a combination of those. KING: And who does the rest of the story? HARVEY: Young Paul writes all of the rest of the story -- stories -- and artfully, I might say. KING: How long you've been doing that, now? HARVEY: Let's see. He decided that the rest of the story was a good idea. We both decided that Paul Harvey didn't have the time to take on anything else, anything extracurricular. He agreed that he would do the writing, maybe he's sorry... KING: There's little Paul on the screen now. And bigger Paul. HARVEY: Yes. Even at the cost of stepping aside from a very important concert piano career. And he has since grown into that responsibility. He's an infinitely finer writer than his dad ever was. KING: But that is one great idea, the rest of the story, a great idea. HARVEY: Bill Stern, as you may remember, got caught careless with the truth. Young Paul has been so scrupulous. He has to have two independent sources for anything that he uses, and in controversial subjects, at least three. KING: Albuquerque, New Mexico, for Paul Harvey, hello. CALLER: Hi, Larry. KING: Hi. CALLER: Hi, Mr. Harvey. HARVEY: Good afternoon, good evening, or good morning, whichever it is in Albuquerque. CALLER: My -- I watched you for many, many years. HARVEY: Thank you. CALLER: And my question is, years ago, in the 1960s, I used to watch you on television. You had a religious program. That made my day. And I was wondering why that stopped and if you'd ever consider doing it again. HARVEY: Oh, bless your heart. You're the first person who ever considered it a religious program. KING: What was that? You did that thing, was that on "Good Morning, America"? HARVEY: I just did the rest of the story on "Good Morning, America," but did a news commentary on... KING: He considered it religious. HARVEY: ... a couple of hundred stations, and this gentleman construed the fact that sometimes I would try to separate rightness and wrongness as a religious program. I guess I'm flattered, thank you. KING: Have you ever questioned your faith? HARVEY: But a pulpit is a responsibility infinitely higher than any to which I would aspire. KING: Have you ever questioned your faith? HARVEY: Questioned it? Oh, I think we all did when we were young. As a matter of fact, I was very tardy in my own life coming to a firm conviction. I like the promise of John 3:16, says, "believe and be saved." That's an... (CROSSTALK) HARVEY: So I put that in my pocket and went on about my own willful ways, and it was very tardy in my own life, I'm sorry to say. KING: Did something do it? HARVEY: Yes, I went to a little tiny church in Cave Creek, Arizona, the oldest town in Arizona. Folding chairs. And I sat about 10 rows back. A little visiting clergyman gets up, and the first few words out of his mouth, Angela (ph) thinks, Paul's going to walk out of here, because his grammar was atrocious. But he began talking about baptism. He says, he explained to me baptism, the cleansing and the recovery from the cleansing, in a manner in which it had never been described to me before. And I thought to myself, this gesture is for me. I was the first one on my feet at the end of his -- and I walked for -- but they didn't have a baptismal, or anything, so he arranged to have a little church down in the valley, this is many years ago, a little church down in the valley arranged to let us use their baptismal pond. I went there with Angela (ph) and a few friends one weekend and... KING: Baptized. HARVEY: Yes. And boy, that's where the fun begins, when you stop tearing yourself in half. KING: More of Paul Harvey on this edition of LARRY KING LIVE. Don't go away. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: A father. A father is a thing that is forced to endure childbirth without an anesthetic. A father is a thing that growls when it feels good, and laughs very loud when it's scared half to death. A father is sometimes accused of giving too much time to his business when the little ones are growing up. That's partly fear, too. Fathers are much more easily frightened than mothers. A father never feels entirely worthy of the worship in a child's eyes. He's never quite the hero his daughter thinks; he's never quite the man his son believes him to be, and this worries him sometimes. So he works too hard, to try and smooth the rough places in the road for those of his own who will follow him. (END VIDEO CLIP) (COMMERCIAL BREAK) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HARVEY: Now, the rest of the story. I want you to meet Lawrence Zeiger, a young radio announcer on Miami station WTVJ. One day, Lawrence signs off the air to hear he's wanted on the telephone, something named Boom-Boom Giorno? Well the announcer picks up the phone and the voice says, You the kid I was listening to on "News Weekend"? So, Lawrence says, Who are you? The voice says, Boom-Boom Giorno. (END VIDEO CLIP) KING: Oh, you did me. HARVEY: Oh, a wonderful story. KING: You going to finish the whole thing now? No, I got too many people calling, I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed. (CROSSTALK) HARVEY: OK, Lawrence Zeiger didn't know what to think. But Boom-Boom Giorno sounded like somebody to whom he should respond. And Boom-Boom said, you're making a speech next Thursday night. At the shrine auditorium in Fort Lauderdale. Black tie. I'll fill you in later. And he hung up. Well, Lawrence Zeiger figured that this was somebody to whom he should pay attention, and he did, and dutifully, at the appointed time, he drove up Highway 1 to Fort Lauderdale. And he found a man waiting for him in the parking lot. Walked up and said, I'm Boom-Boom Giorno. And Lawrence Zeiger said, I'm pleased to meet you. Boom-Boom said, Come on in. They went into the backstage and he was told, This is a charity fund-raising event for Italian boys. You're expected to say a few funny things, and then sit down. And that's it. After the program was over, it had been reasonably successfully. Indeed a large collection had been taken for the charity in question. On his way out, he is met again, Lawrence Zeiger, by Boom-Boom backstage, who wants to escort him to his car. He reaches into his pocket, pulls out a wad of money and said, What do I owe you, kid? And the kid said, Forget it. Boom-Boom said, Can't do that. We owe you. You got a marker on us. So Lawrence Zeiger said, What do you have in mind? And Boom-Boom said -- Boom-Boom responded with five words that Lawrence Zeiger never forgot to this day. The five words were, Anybody you don't like? And immediately, of course, Lawrence Zeiger is thinking about his station manager, but he didn't mention that. But over the years since, he has thought so many times about Boom-Boom and it has influenced his career to an extent that each of you will especially appreciate because it taught Lawrence Zeiger, a fledgling disc jockey, a youngster from New York who was so utterly inexperienced the significance of paucity in handling our beautiful language. And from that day to this, as he conducts interview programs, you listen. Pay attention now. Instead of what the average interviewer does, wax eloquently about how much he knows about a certain subject, and then asks the interviewee to say yes or no this interviewer will ask questions like, so, What happened? And you have to take it from there. And I just wanted you to know about the night when Lawrence Zeiger learned the significance of brevity and that was when he became Larry King. And now you know the rest of the story. KING: Victoria -- he set that up. Victoria, British Columbia, hello. CALLER: Good evening, gentlemen, how are you? KING: Fine. CALLER: Perhaps, Mr. Harvey, you just answered my question, but I was wondering, of all of the wonderful and anecdotes from the rest of the story that you've shared with us through the years what would you say is your most favorite one or the one which touched you the most deeply? KING: I have a favorite one. Mine was the discovery of champagne by the monk who spilled the wine. HARVEY: Oh, my, Dom Perignon. KING: And now you know the rest of the story. Do you have a favorite rest of the story? HARVEY: It dates back to before "The Rest of the Story" became a regular series, when it was just a segment of my regular broadcast, and that was the one that I broadcast on the occasion of the birth of my son. KING: How's your wife? HARVEY: Wonderfully well, Larry, and, of course, wants to be remembered to you. KING: How long you been married? HARVEY: She won't let me tell. She gave me this ring when she picked up my option for a second 50 years, and that's been quite a few years ago. KING: We'll be back with our remaining -- all-too-quick remaining moments with Paul Harvey. Don't go away. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) KING: As we come back, Paul Harvey day, October 4 in Chicago, what was that like? There's your day. HARVEY: Well, thank you, thank you, Larry. We have a mayor in Chicago now... KING: Good guy. HARVEY: ... who is -- oh, Larry, he is an infinite improvement over his own father, who was a good mayor. But this fellow has embraced that polyglot population with a wonderful warmth that I would never have imagined... KING: Young Daly. HARVEY: ... come to pass. KING: Alliance, Nebraska, hello. CALLER: Good evening, Larry, good evening, Mr. Harvey. HARVEY: Good evening. CALLER: I was just wondering, what do you listen to on the radio? HARVEY: What do I listen to on the radio? I listen to news on my way down very, very early in the pre-dawn dark, and that's about it. KING: You have a winter home in Arizona, right? HARVEY: Yes. KING: And the summers are still spent in Chicago? HARVEY: We -- I -- I'm often asked which is my favorite. I love each of those place better than any place else on earth. KING: Chicago and Phoenix. Chicago's a special place. HARVEY: Indeed. KING: Ain't no city like it. HARVEY: And for a news person, there is no better position from which to see the rest of the world without distortion. KING: Colorado Springs, hello. CALLER: Hello, Larry. Hello, Mr. Harvey. This is a great pleasure to talk to you. HARVEY: Thank you. CALLER: I wanted to ask you about your wonderful story called "The Man and The Birds." HARVEY: My. CALLER: That is so inspiring. I think it's one of the most inspiring things I've ever heard about god and about Jesus. And I wondered if it came from your family or if you could tell about that story. HARVEY: No, ma'am, I can't claim credit for it. The religion editor of the United Press and I tried for many years, while he lived, to search out and find the author of those words. But I think, maybe some things are written without attribution purposefully. Maybe we're not supposed to attribute those words to anybody in particular. But isn't it a very, very moving story? It moves me even yet. KING: Minami, Wisconsin, hello. CALLER: Hello, Larry. Hello, Paul. HARVEY: Howdy, sir. CALLER: My question for you is, over the years, forms of technology and forms of acquiring news has changed so much. And in the changes of technology and in news, what do you consider as the biggest revolution in news radio and how has the news changed and affected you as a broadcaster? KING: Technology, you're anti-technology, aren't you? You're in my class there. HARVEY: Yes, I'm afraid so, Larry. KING: Computers, no. HARVEY: I'm glad to have people around the office who can understand those computers, but I certainly can't. In the old rip- and-read days of radio, we had no option but to reflect somebody else's perspective on the news. The big change is that now, everybody is expressing his view. When I started at ABC, there were three categories of news people; one was the news caster who just read the news as written by somebody else; the second was the news analyst, who had enough veneration to be able to analyze the news; and then, after he got enough miles on him he was able to call himself a commentator. And he had to work his way from one step to the other very tediously. Well, today, anybody can go on the air at anywhere and any time and comment on the news for better or worse. KING: You still an ordinary typewriter? HARVEY: Sure, I still pound every word into an IBM Selectric. I did got that far. I used a manual type writer until a just a few years ago. KING: Aren't you anti-computer? HARVEY: Yes, I think we've outsmarted ourselves, Larry. We got repairmen all over our office there three times a week. My little office in Chicago really doesn't deserve that. KING: You have a cell phone? HARVEY: Yes. KING: You've bowed to that, have you? HARVEY: No, my son keeps giving it to me and I can't be rude. KING: Paul, I can only wish you a longer life and more visits to this program. Why don't you do more television by the way? HARVEY: Well, Larry, I've a pretty full schedule, for one thing. But that invitation means more to me than you can imagine. KING: You're a very special man, Paul Harvey. HARVEY: Before I go... KING: What are you going to do? HARVEY: Your makeup lady... KING: Patty. HARVEY: Patty. KING: What about her? HARVEY: Well, I've been watching myself on your monitor here. She's taken -- would you call my wife and tell her I'm on my way to the airport, and to wait up for me in Phoenix because I'm coming home 40 years younger? Good day. KING: Good day. I'll be back to tell you about tomorrow night. You follow this, after this. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) KING: One of the great joys of being in this business, is you know you are in the same business of someone like Paul Harvey. I had the honor of emceeing his induction into the radio hall of fame. When I went into that hall fame two years later, just to share to the same experience with someone like Paul Harvey. No, way to tell you how a feeling like that is.
