This Week with George Stephanopoulos marks the passing of NC Senator Jesse Helms, New York Magazine editor Clay Felker and Bozo the Clown portrayer Larry Harmon as well as the names of 9 soldiers and Marines killed in Afghanistan. For the first time since the occupation began*, the Pentagon did not release the names of any troop members killed in combat in Iraq.
