those PBS women are all wonderful– so calm, so prepared with relevant questions. Rachel is always fun to watch, and so much better than her male colleagues, who just make me cringe with their constant interruptions and hysteria.

I like Margaret too. She looks like she’s finally having a good time when they spring her to go to Pakistan or some other war-torn spot. And Gwen Ifill, as well, is pretty cool.

I gotta say, what about Margaret Warner? She’s an erudite, quick, and thorough “not your typical TV babe.” In my humble opion the best on PBS, by far.

I totally agree with you, Susan. Haven’t seen Rachel too much, but Judy Woodruff and I met years ago. She was the keynote speaker at a conference on women’s health in Baltimore. She was so easy to listen to. You saw that she was very smart and that she welcomed ideas. We sat for a drink together with other women and she fit right in, never seeking the spotlight or parading an ego. I’ve followed her ever since. Congrats, Judy!
