This has been a year of extraordinary loss in fields as divergent as celebrity, music, acting, science, politics and others.
The one that I will miss the most has been my voice of reason for years. The one person who could possibly ask the right questions and answer mine in this next year as the world unfolds as it will, not to mention my 6pm dinner companion on PBS for years as well.
You will be missed Gwen Ifill. 1955-2016
