> CHAT PARTICIPANT: Kelly, How much sleep have you been getting
> since the attack on America?
>
> WALLACE: That is my favorite question. Not much at all, thanks
> for asking. But I am not alone. Everyone at CNN, and especially
> everyone at the White House, has been working around the clock.
> The hardest shift happens to be the overnight drill. The brain

> we need to do, very aware of the magnitude of the story and the
> importance of getting it right and presenting information in a
> sensitive and compassionate way.
