Working: The Republican National Convention at the Kemper Arena in Kansas City was my first political convention as a CBS correspondent. I was thinking only one thing: don't blow it! So I was a little impatient up there on the film box waiting for the cue, and a little worried. My ambition was to be a political reporter, so I felt like Seabiscuit before his first big race. So much was riding on that day. Girls do get floor passes even if they wear glasses (Leslie Stahl), 1976. Bill Owens (American, b. 1938). Gelatin silver print; image: 15.8 x 23.2 cm (6 1/4 x 9 1/8 in.); paper: 20.2 x 25.2 cm (7 15/16 x 9 15/16 in.). The Cleveland Museum of Art, Gift of George Stephanopoulos 2019.295
