Not one ugly chick there.

Now if only they would've had more shots of Murrow smiling I'd have given it 5.

On a more serious note, I have to say that it was nice. At first thought I expected a reporter circle jerk, but they kept it classy and interesting. Pundits have jaded me in many a sense, so this was a nice change.

The sense of pride exuded was heavily controlled by the content and context of the reporters. Pride and honor with determinants, not givens. Only in areas dedicated to obituaries and the two bullet-ridden vehicles did names outnumber that which had been reported on. There is this tall arc with dozens of panes of smoked glass, covered in the names of the fallen. It definitely gets to you. In addition, the Pulitzer-winning photography circumventing every wall got to me on every floor. So many names from Iraq this year.... Despite some overuse, the Berlin wall area was engaging as well. Overall the content is top-notch, as it should be, but the replay/return value is probably low as the impact of the whole thing is what makes it worth the fee to get in.

It is definitely a well done affair.
