In Memory of a Tremendous Newsman and in Celebration of Fathers

The only book I can think to recommend on this Father's Day, just two days after Tim Russert's sudden and tragic passing at the age of 58, is his own book, Big Russ and Me, about his father and what he taught him growing up in Buffalo, NY about living an ethical, honest and disciplined life. Russert will be sorely missed. CNN may have their fancy graphics but I can't imagine this year's presidential election without Tim's dry-erase board.
