Tim Russert will be remembered by Acropolis Review. He was an important figure in the cultural life of the nation's capital. We offer condolences to his family and colleagues at NBC. Sadly, Mr. Russert cut short a family vacation in Italy to answer his sense of duty to his professional work in Washington. The extreme level of dedication to work that results in this kind of unhealthy sacrifice of precious leisure time is unfortunately common in our national life and can be costly.Tim Russert's quest for professional excellence in journalism can be honored by supporting Free Press.

Time Russert was the consummate professional, fair and direct! Watching him gave you a better understanding of the issues as well as the people he was interviewing! His commentary before, during and after the debates was striking in its candor and professionalism. Having watching MTP for 10 years, I would make sure that I was up every Sunday to catch what it was he was talking about (even last Sunday's 8 am show!!) He was an amazing personality who you could trust when he spoke. During my short life on this earth there has not been one TV personality that I felt I could completely trust, except for Mr. Russert. He never came across as having an agenda and he never did "gotcha" journalism. I am sure his family & the NBC family will miss him, but so will the millions of people that he touched simply by going on TV each Sunday and doing what he did best! Mr. Russert, thank you for touching my life. Now, I can just imagine the MTP roundtable you will be performing in heaven!! Thank you, thank you very much sir!! You will be missed.....
