The Hilton donated the ~2600 dinners that went unserved at WHCD. They freeze dried the steak and lobster for longer shelf life before giving them to 2 shelters for abused women and children. HUGE thank you to the staff that worked through the night under terrible circumstances.

Mark Knoller was, by any measure, a legend of the White House press corps. His generosity with knowledge about covering the White House was as defining as the knowledge itself.
Me: Mr. President, are you going to go in for the uranium?
Follow up: Can you accomplish your goals without it?
Sometimes you have to ask the question, even if the president can't/won't answer.
REPORTER: "Mr. President, are you going to go in for the uranium."
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "Oh, yeah, I'm going in. We're going tomorrow at 3:00. How could you possibly ask a question like that and expect an answer?"

From Edward R. Murrow’s broadcasts to today, CBS News Radio has been part of the foundation of American journalism. Murrow’s mic sits on display at the National Press Club as a reminder of that legacy. When an institution like that disappears, it’s a loss for the public & for journalism.
