me. [ dennis ] dollar for dollar nobody protects you from mayhem like allstate. >> safer: now, andy rooney can call this work. we get eight newspapers every day, and i keep them where they're easy to get at. we get "the new york times," "the daily news," "the new york post," "the washington post," "the wall street journal," "u.s.a. today," "newsday," and "the new york observer." i don't read all of them, i just get them. we figured it would take anyone a couple of days to read just one edition of "the new york times," so if you read all of it, you'd get behind every day when another paper came before you'd finished the one that came the day before. reading the paper every morning is one of the high points of my day, and i'm worried. i don't like to say so, but some papers have gone out of business, and more papers are going to go out of business. i don't think saying so is going to make them go any faster. you may know me from television, but i write a newspaper column for the tribune media syndicate, and my relationship to newspapers goes back to before there was television, when i was 12

the citi forward card can help you write it. >> stahl: now, a few minutes with andy rooney. >> rooneyas about 12 years old, i remember at christmas one year being ashamed of how much i liked it because of all the presents i got. it's a pretty complicated thought for a 12-year-old kid, but i had it. i've always liked presents, though. people send me a lot of things, and i wish they wouldn't, but i can't help liking them. i mean, look at this-- just a few of the things that have come in recently. this is a bottle of some kind of sauce. now, it's probably very good and from someone who likes me, but it could be very bad and from someone who hates me, too, so i don't dare eat it. someone sent me this sports whistle. why would anyone send me a whistle? the package says it's made of solid brass, it's triple-plated, and it has an extra sharp tone. well, good for it, but i certainly wouldn't want a whistle that was only double- plated and made of brass that wasn't solid. this goes under a door to keep the draft out. someone's idea of what john mccain and barack obama look like. not my idea of

with you when it's time to save. >> safer: now, andy rooney. >> rooney: it may be what everyone thinksselves as, but i consider myself to be an absolutely dead center, normal, average american. you'd think my experience growing up, going to school, serving in the army, getting married, having kids, buying a home, would make me perfect if hollywood was looking around for an average american male. the things i write and read on television are for regular, normal, average, everyday americans-- i mean, like myself. or so i think. my question then is this-- if i'm so average american, how come that i've never heard of most of the musical groups that millions of other americans apparently are listening to? i've heard of sting and the rolling stones, but someone sent me "billboard" magazine, and i looked at a list of the top 200 performers and nobody i know is on that best-seller list. the singers i know have been replaced by performers like justin bieber, lady gaga and usher. i mean, who? they are selling millions of songs by singers that i've never heard of, and that must mean i'm out of th

treatment >> safer: now andy rooney. >> rooney: there's a lot in the newspapers these days about healtht i think they ought to be more specific and talk about something we all need: one all-purpose doctor. there's just no doubt we have an acute shortage of what we used to call "family physicians." we need more medical schools that graduate doctors who specialize in everything and nothing-- the whole body, not just one part of it. the practice of medicine has become too specialized, i think. several years ago, i had surgery on my right wrist. the doctor was very good. two years later, my left hand started to hurt, so i went back to the doctor, but i found out he only worked on right wrists. i mean, you talk about specializing. we all need a doctor who'd give us a complete physical check-up for everything-- kidney stones, cancer, lung problems, eyesight, even our hearing. they're all part of our one body. a good friend of mine whose wife had a hip replacement was having trouble with a knee he hurt years ago, and he decided he might need a knee replacement. i asked if he was going to his w
