From the Lexington Herald Leader: Edwards signs off npr morning post

From U-Redlands Daily Facts:NPR’s Edwards keeps final broadcast low-key Watch this; contains HTML errors which Netscape trips over; Internet Explorer, as usual, is equally non-complient so even though the page is flawed it displays.

Edwards was interviewed by Bill Moyers on NOW - a transcript should be available on the website in a few days (currently it’s pointing to last week’s edition).

Edwards was also interviewed by Scott Simon on NPR’s Weekend Edition (Scott, you might think about keeping an eye over your sholder just in case Kernis gets another bug in his bonnet…). When Simon, always a straight-shooter, asked, “Did NPR do the same thing to you that CBS did to Murrow?” I d*mned near fell off my chair.

David Broder of The Washington Post writes a tribute to Edwards in today’s paper: A Wistful Farewell to NPR’s Minimalist
(You can read it without lying on a registration form at The Salt Lake Tribune.)
I sent Mr. Broder a short note, referencing this comment, “My purpose is not to gripe about the decision to relieve him of his duties” and simply suggesting, “Oh, go ahead…” ;)

This morning on Weekend Edition Sunday, Liane Hansen offered a tribute to Andy Trudeau, who left NPR this past week after 27 years as a classical music producer and nine years as a guest on Weekend Edition to talk about Oscar-nominated music scores. This prompted me to send the following letter to WeSun@npr.org - in the unlikely event I receive any response, I’ll post it (or at least the information, since the email itself would be covered by creation copyright) here:

Morning!
