For most people, dying at your desk would be the last thing you would want or expect for yourself
or anyone.
I have a feeling you would not expect anything but that for someone like Russert. He loved his job. He was good at it and was one of the most balanced of the political press.
He understood both the media and the medium and lived for getting that question answered.
I think he would grin a little that it ended at his desk, but most would have wished it would have been at 108 and not 58.
