I’ve heard Jeff described in the last day as our North Star, and as the captain of our ship, the ship that he’s been building for the last 9 years. He’s been… both our guide and our protector in the many storms that we’ve faced... It’s been said over by a few people, but outside of Ted Turner, no one has had a bigger impact, or been more important to, or meant more to CNN, and I don’t think anyone loved it more either. On top of all of those things about being our Captain, and our guide and our North Star, Jeff, as so, so many of you know, was also our friend.
