Morale suffered its greatest blow last month when 125 news positions were eliminated and 74 employees were dismissed. The cutbacks followed CBS's decision in August not to renew the contract of Supreme Court Correspondent Fred Graham, who reportedly earned $250,000 a year.

Billy Graham on John Stott, are surprisingly personal. Among my other favorites: Russell Simmons on Jay-Z; Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman on the show's creator, Marc Cherry; Bono on his good friend Jeffrey Sachs; and Tom Brokaw on Jon Stewart. Even political foes can make a good pair. James Carville...
