Reflecting on Robert Novak
Long-time Washington reporter, columnist and political pundit Robert Novak died yesterday after losing a battle to brain cancer.

Joining us to discuss Robert Novak’s illustrious career and dubious legacy is Michael Calderone, media reporter for Politico, and Albert Hunt, a friend of Mr. Novak’s and the executive Washington editor of Bloomberg News.
