5. Almost too painful to listen to Brokaw there.

Reminds you a little of Cronkite's voice breaking when he read the bulletin of JFK's death on the air(I think Cronkite didn't know it until he actually read it out live).

I hope they give Brokaw the rest of the day off. Poor guy sounds devastated.

7. Brokaw - What a Pro

I'm sure he wanted to be the one to report - to honor his friend. You can hear the devastation in his voice.
So sad.

9. I will always remember Russert as the guy who disrespected

Dennis Kucinich in a candidate debate by raising the "issue" of UFO's.
