The 168 chairs, with 19 small ones for the kids & babies murdered on April 19, 1995, is among the most moving memorials anywhere to lives senselessly lost because of terrorism. Even more tragically, it was an American who cruelly & mercilessly killed other Americans that day.

I am devastated at the passing of a dear friend and someone who helped transform American television news, Robin MacNeil. He and Jim Lehrer were partners in creating the iconic PBS NewsHour on PBS and it was the honor of my life to work with and learn from them.

Good riddance to this week, which has felt like a month.
