Brokaw Salutes Dole Institute on NBC's TODAY“I was just at the Bob Dole Institute at the University of Kansas, and I recommend to everybody watching this broadcast that if you get anywhere near Lawrence, Kansas, go to the Bob Dole Institute. And you'll see some bright young people who are entering public life or are interested in the issues of the day. And you'll see a remarkable small museum about Bob's astonishing life. It is a great tribute to a great American." ....Tom Brokaw, during June 15 interview on NBC's Sunday TODAY
