The Reality Of Tim Russert
By Steve Rhodes
Tim Russert has been dead for more than two years now so I think the time has come to speak ill of him. First, a press release that arrived in my inbox last week. Then, the truth.

The press release:
“Tim Russert, the late moderator of NBC’s Meet the Press, will be honored posthumously with the Lincoln Leadership Prize by the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation at a benefit dinner starting at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 10, 2011, at The Four Seasons Hotel, 120 E. Delaware Place in Chicago. Former NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw will present the award to Russert’s widow, Maureen Orth, and son, Luke Russert.
“Tim Russert is featured in one of the most popular exhibitions at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, the Illinois state capitol. In it, he employs 21st century reporting techniques, complete with a television broadcast and commercials, to report on the Presidential Campaign of 1860.

Remembering Steve Landesberg, AKA Detective Arthur Dietrich
By The Beachwood Barney Miller Affairs Desk
“Steve Landesberg, an actor and comedian with a friendly and often deadpan manner who was best known for his role on the long-running sitcom Barney Miller, died in Los Angeles on Monday,” the New York Times reports. “He was 74.
“The cause was colon cancer, his daughter, Elizabeth, said.
“On Barney Miller, which ran on ABC from 1975 to 1982, Mr. Landesberg played Sgt. Arthur P. Dietrich, an intellectual detective with a quiet manner who seemed to have an unrivaled knowledge of practically any topic that arose, much to the bewilderment of his fellow detectives.
