quote:Mark Shields, a onetime campaign manager who became one of Washington’s most respected political commentators, both as a syndicated columnist and as a genial liberal counterpart to several conservative sparring partners on PBS NewsHour, died June 18 at his home in Chevy Chase, Md. He was 85.
The cause was kidney disease, said his daughter, Amy Doyle.
