Pls tune into MSNBC today and throughout the evening as Chris & Lester cover Ronald
Reagan's funeral and final journeyacross America to his final resting place in Simi
Valley, CA...We've got a number of reporters stationed strategically throughout with
live updates...We'll also talk to a number of Reagan's friends, colleagues and
journalists who covered him and knew him best..
Our schedule is fluid and we're tweaking things as we go but we're expecting to have
Chris & Lester on the air until at least 11 pm ET tonight...Pls tune in for this
historic day
Editor's note: I'm heading on vacation this evening for the following week but you'll
still get the Briefing...This sheet will be produced by Hardball's top political
editor and resident comedian, Howard Mortman, a man whose regular columns are well
known to Briefing readers...He also produces much of the factoids you see flashing
across the bottom of our screen...I shall return Monday the 21st..
