"We have a precious amount of time on the CBS 'Evening News' and I don't think we need to ever utter the name Paris Hilton."

--"Evening News" Anchor Katie Couric, speaking at a WBZ radio sponsored breakfast in Boston. The last two times Hilton was mentioned on the "Evening News" were on April 2, 2006, in a story about video games, and June 4, 2005, in a story about Marilyn Monroe's belongings being auctioned. The stories predated Couric's start at the "Evening News."
