First sentence: In her 1998 book, Reporting Live, Lesley Stahl, a correspondent for the CBS network's 60 Minutes, wrote about a conversation she had with retired New York Times journalist James Reston about the idiosyncrasies of some of the nation's presidents: I remarked about those presidents who, in spite of their success, hadn't felt they'd "arrived" and sat in the White House still trying "to prove something to themselves and to the world."
