a champion in sailing. and the holy grail of championship sailing was the america s cup. it took him from 1958 to 1977 to do it. but he had a heavy focus and didn t let anybody get in the way of that. he got crushed in the america s cup in 1974, so it was kind of the ultimate comeback for him. it s close, you know, it s always close. the year was 1977. ted took the helm and navigated his team to victory after nearly two decades in the sport. his yacht, aptly named courageous, totally dominated his competition, winning every race in the best out of seven series. we finally won, big hoopla, a thousand boats coming in, thousands of people on the shoreline, champagne everywhere. and ted turns to me in the middle of this melee and says, hey, johnson, wasn t that fun?

you know, i ve known you for a while. religion is not necessarily something i ve associated with ted turner. my faith was shaken when my sister got sick. she was sick for five years before she passed away, and it just seemed so unfair because she hadn t done anything wrong. christianity didn t give me the answer to that. so my faith got shaken somewhat. i still pray a little bit. ted found solace on the water where he developed a love for sailing. by age 11, he was competing in the junior regata of the savannah yacht club. his parents divorced after his sister s death, and his relationship with his father remained strained. when ted was accepted to brown university, his dad be rarated for not getting into harvard. he sent ted a letter that still haunts him today. my dear son, i m appalled,

around. i don t know how to quit. it s not in my genes. surprisingly the mouth of the south. robert edward turner iii was born in cincinnati, ohio, the oldest child of robert and florence. he was beautiful. he was just loved beyond all else. there was a vacant lot, a hollow, down the street with virgin trees in it and a little creek ran through it, and i would catch crayfish and put them in a jar. mischief was always around the corner. yes, mischief. yes. we got a call from the house saying, grandma mccoy in the middle of the night had walked into her bathroom and screamed, oh, my gosh! ted brought an alligator and put it in the bathtub. but there was also trouble at the turner household.

hours than you can in 24 minutes. you had this maverick down in atlanta, georgia who had decided that he was going to provide news around the clock, 24 hours a day. not just at 6:00 when cronkite or others would be coming along with the evening news. we had no background in news, but it was plainly a major genre in cable television that was missing. finally you can see our new cable news network headquarters. most thought the idea was crazy. people did look upon that as a foolish idea that was destined for failure. but they underestimated ted turner. we signed it on june 1, and barring satellite problems in the future, we won t be signing off until world s end.
