I wonder if Tim Russert is sitting around tonight with John Cameron Swayze, Lawrence E. Spivak, Chet Huntley, Pauline Frederick, David Brinkley, John Chancellor and David Bloom, getting a briefing on his next assignment.

He's probably trying to report on the biggest story of the day -- his own death and new environment -- but can't figure out how to file the story.

The photo, of Russert in 1976, is from the Big Russ and Me Photo Album -- Russert's 2004 book about his father.
