Farewell to Barbara Walters

Washington Post television critic Hank Stuever calls retiring Barbara Walters “one of America’s last great listeners.” He says she asked many of the questions we wanted answers to and never seemed to make her interviews about her. A Barbara Walters interview, Stuever says, meant that whatever the issue of the moment was, it had reached its apex.
