Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI love it already. A network with a point of view and a founder it still listens to.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe summary says EWTN continues to follow the lead of its founder, Mother Angelica. That is the whole summary, and I have read it twice.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTwice! See, you can grow.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe piece itself has more detail than we have here, so I will not pretend to know what it argues beyond that one line.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA lake with potential. What does our founder's lead look like, Hank?
