"Cokie Roberts's passing is a tremendous loss for her friends, her family, her profession, and her country.
She was a pioneer who led the way for so many women in journalism who came after her."
"My prayers are with her husband Steven, her children, & her whole family
I first met Cokie 50 years ago when she was a producer for It's Academic--a high school quiz show, and I was a team member for Madison High School
Cokie Roberts was one of the best journalists I've ever met"
