Washington Week

Anyone watch the Gwen Ifull tribute? If not, I can understand, she was pretty mainstream journalistically. I've been watching the show though for the past few decades and it was sad to see her life cut off so abruptly. She did a good job of keeping her illness under wraps.

I was being overly sensitive by using the term "mainstream". If I hadn't used it then someone would have said she wasn't progressive enough or something...
