<![CDATA[Schieffer on Nunn's Legacy]]>
"Nunn has been called a renaissance man, but to me he was also a retro Senator, a politician from another era when the Senate was a place of giants and the greatest of them found ways to rise above partisanship and work with those in the other party to actually accomplish things," said Bob Schieffer in a broadcast of Face the Nation on CBS. Schieffer, who hosted "A Conversation with Sam Nunn" during the March 14th Allen Prize Symposium, continued, "Today’s politicians savor their partisan victories but here is just one result of Nunn’s approach: because of the Nunn-Lugar program to dismantle Russian nuclear missiles, today one out of ten light bulbs in this country is powered by reprocessed nuclear fuel that once set atop enemy missiles aimed at us. Now that is a legacy. I’ll never forget Nunn’s parting words when he left Washington. “I never accomplished anything without the help of someone from the other party.”" Source: CBS Face the Nation broadcast - March 20, 2011Watch the broadcast
