We have considered Washington Week our 'must see' news review of the week since Paul Duke in the late 70's. It does review what has happened that week, but it also pulls together where we are in the latest "processes" and helps us to make sense of it all. Certainly in all of these ways, but especially in the latter category (of helping us to make sense of it all) that last week's host, Amy Walter, showed her real strength: her synthesis of the material and consequent questions that lead the reporter (and her audience at home) to a broader and deeper understanding of the processes that are at large. Yes, there's a bit of polishing to do, but overall, Amy's right up there with Robert Costa and Gwen Ifil in her ability to engage, inform, and educate us - grab her for your next host! Candy Woodbury
