She changed the intro to "In Memoriam" to more broadly include all casualties of war ... but they still list names of US casualties released by the Pentagon as before.
The "kidney bean" table is awful - it looks like the panel is sitting at the teacher's desk. Also with one of the panelists off site, there was a nice gap between George Will and Paul Krugman - looked really awkward. She didn't do a great job moderating either, she favored George Will a bit too much. If she would not make such a big effort to be so blatantly "international" - maybe an approach more like Fareed Zakaria - I think she'd come across better. I wish she'd either keep the glasses on or get Lasik surgery. I'll be curious to see how it goes when the midterm elections get closer. My two cents ...
