Dear Friends:
    Great letter, Arly!
    I especially like this question:  "Yet, how do  you suppose it ever 
became acceptable to publicly chastise women for feeding  their babies?  Where do 
you think this idea initially came  from?"
What a terrific question, Arly!! Right, how  have attitudes and beliefs and 
norms and values changed so that a mother feeding  her baby can be harassed?
    warmly,
    warmly,
