In a 1995 piece on #NPR's now-retiring Linda #Wertheimer, her prescient answer to "Hot topic you couldn't care less about" was "anything Trump."

In 1978, she provided commentary from the gallery of the U.S. Senate for the first-ever live broadcast of a #Senate debate, during discussion of the Panama Canal Treaty.

From the article: "People are listening to the debate by the millions... and the number of Wertheimer fans continues to swell."
