A new book captures Cokie Roberts and her ‘Life Well Lived’

If you stroll the grounds of Congressional Cemetery in Washington, D.C., you’ll find the graves of some historic figures like J. Edgar Hoover, the first FBI director, and legendary composer, John Philip Sousa. It’s also where Cokie Roberts, the trailblazing longtime NPR journalist, is buried. Her plot is near her brother’s, Thomas “Tommy” Hale Boggs Jr., who died in 2014, and the cenotaph to her father, former House Majority leader Hale Boggs. Hale Boggs’ plane disappeared over Alaska in 1972 and his body was never found.
