He says she was "terrified" of the job, but Buffett told her she could succeed at business.

Graham published the Pentagon Papers that helped lead to the end of Vietnam War , he says.

Greene: "She was torturing herself. She couldn't help doing that".

Buffett , 94 , is still chairman of Berkshire Hathaway , and still making front page news.

Buffett: "I think that's the most interesting subject in the world, but I won't talk, I can't." Buffett: Tariffs are "an act of war, to some degree" and " the Tooth Fairy doesn't pay 'em!".
