Meet the Press: A special tribute |
 Remembering Tim Russert "Our issues this Sunday." Tim Russert started every edition of Meet the Press with those four words -- and it was those words that he was preparing to record when he collapsed and died on June 13, 2008. Now his moderator's chair is empty, his voice has been silenced. We remember our colleague and friend with a look back at his life and legacy. |
