We'll miss you, Tim Russert

As avid readers of GovDocs@Gelman know, I like to point out the moments when government information takes on a different form than the publications that come out of the GPO. And every Sunday at 11:30, Tim Russert delivered government information to us in a way that everyone can understand. He was the cross-examiner of the country, questioning politicians and officials and getting down to what really mattered: the truth. He'll be remembered by many this weekend, but see for yourself-- Meet The Press transcripts are available in Lexis/Nexis Academic. Limit your search by the program starting with 1991 (you can do this in the Power Search-- just look for "Meet the Press") and you'll get the transcript for each program.

Thanks TR... November 4th just isn't gonna be the same without you.

actually... I just checked, and Lexis/Nexis starts at 1997 with the transcripts.
