A tiny tear welled up in my eyes tonight toward the end of the last episode of "The West Wing." It was a fitting tribute to the work of the writers and actors that brought me enjoyment and moments of deep reflection on civil matters from time to time.
I had hoped that NBC or the actors or writers, whomever it is that made the show's demise inevitable, would have a change of heart and return for another season or two. But it's done, it's finished. It's gone.
