Bob Edwards

Everybody listen to Morning Edition tomorrow morning. It will be Bob Edwards' last broadcast before he is moved into the "senior correspondent" position. I really don't have the connection with him that other people do. I only really started listening to NPR in the last couple of years. However, Edwards is something of an institution, having started at the show five years before I was even born. He will be sorely missed, although I am confident that NPR will find a more than competant replacement.

Also, be sure to watch ABC's Nightline tomorrow night. Ted Koppel will be using the entire show to read the names of every American killed in action in Iraq. The list will be some 500 names. It will not include those killed in accidents.
