The ratings of the past three months proved those viewers still return to CNN when there is important news, he said.

Reunited with Grant a day later, Sifford said: "We bonded out there, and I'm just happy to see he's doing well." "If I could trade my life for that little girl's life I saw killed, I would do it in a second," Grant said. My life is almost over, so I would have traded my life for that life any day of the week.
