“Have you read Balz yet this morning.” How many times have we been asked that over the years? Not because Dan’s latest was some dishy piece about the latest political gossip – far from it....

...It was because you were guaranteed Dan would once again be bringing thoughtful, serious, and rich reporting on politics and governance. A pro, a legend, and one of the most decent people you’ll ever have the good fortune to meet...

...he now has more time to enjoy - or, more likely, grind his teeth over - his beloved Washington Nationals. But no matter how their season turns out, one thing is certain: Dan’s already a first-ballot lock for the Cooperstown of political journalism. Bravo and congrats. -30-
