2. The last line was an example of how this campaign has documented our country's transition into the

21st century.

4. I watched this this morning.

It was a very profound follow up by Schieffer to the interview he had just conducted with Obama. He placed the awesome historical choice this election in clear context. I had tears in my eyes.

3. Thanks, that was interesting.

I didn't know that 2 people were killed during riots in 1962.

5. Schieffer describes the Ole Miss riots in great detail

in "Mississippi Burning," Chapter III of his wonderful memoir, This Just In.

A wonderful newsman's autobiography, and there are a good many of them. You can hear Schieffer's voice in his writing, and I always like that.
