First, I want to pay tribute to Diana myself. She was an exceptional and gifted human being.

Queen Elizabeth II

Howard Coble

I am convinced that this approach, a mainstream Democratic approach, commands the strong support of the American people, and presents a sharp and compassionate contrast to the Republican abortion position which offers no real hope or commitment to mother or child.

Candice Bergen

I go to Malawi twice a year. It's where two of my children were adopted from, and I have a lot of projects there that I go and check up on and children who I look after. It's sort of a commitment that I've made to this country and the hundreds of thousands of children there who have been orphaned by AIDS.
Madonna Ciccone

I have a contract but it's not a commitment in the ordinary sense. It's our ongoing conversation.
Diane Sawyer
