What a privilege to know Bill Moyers as a journalist and a friend. His boundless curiosity, penetrating mind, generosity, humanity — he taught us all so much. I'm grateful to have had him in my life, & I join so many of Bill's colleagues & friends in sending condolences to Judith & their family.-MK

There you are! Yeah, not surprised by this either. I was stunned when I saw a glancing reference to her new show somewhere. How was it?
