Elise Finch loved music. The song of her life deserved many more verses.
Her gifts were many, and so too the lives she touched.
My deepest condolences to Graig and little Grace, her parents and sister, and all our CBS2 family.

Many in broadcasting earn the title “veteran.” That just takes time. Few earn the title “legend.” There will never be another Regis. What he did was so so hard and he made it look so easy. A giant.

I was in Rome in 2013 covering the resignation. On Feb 28 Benedict met with Cardinals to say goodbye - McCarrick among them. If Vigano is correct, seems odd. McCarrick was staying at American Seminary and gave many interviews to many journalists including me before conclave.
Kopy is one of the finest public servants I’ve ever dealt with starting with his time . A straight shooter. No BS. Great manager. Dedicated -he jumped into a river once to save a little girl.
I know he’s been thinking about retirement for awhile Wish him all the best
