Review of Madelyn Dunham, Cornerstone of Barack Obama's Life

This piece offers an interesting look at Dunham, who will become a figure of increasing interest to Americans. Through the voices of her coworkers, we hear about her life as an influential business person and come to know her as a savvy career woman--but unfortunately the piece says very little about how this side of her corresponds to her relationship with Obama. Overall, well organized, with good production and certainly a good contribution in the developing portrait of an intriguing woman.
