While remembering Russert, Brokaw cites KU’s Dole Institute
Tom Brokaw and Bob Dole remembered Tim Russert, the deceased NBC journalist, on Weekend Today recently.At the end of their conversation, Brokaw lauded the Dole Institute for the way it promotes civic service and also for the way it honors Dole’s legacy. The transcript is below:_TOM BROKAW: I was just at the Bob Dole Institute at the University of Kansas, and I recommend to everybody watching this broadcast that if you get anywhere near Lawrence, Kansas, go to the Bob Dole Institute. And you’ll see some bright young people who are entering public life or are interested in the issues of our day. And you’ll see a remarkable small museum about Bob’s astonishing life. It is a great tribute to a great American.__So Bob, it’s always heartening to go back there. When I got back from it, Tim and I talked at length about your long career and having a place where we can go and visit and have a much better understanding of your legacy.__Sen. BOB DOLE: Thanks, Tom._
