Diane--
What is your background? You are one of the most articulate
writers I've met. My own background is in editing--so take it
as a double compliment that I enjoy your writing! I know you
will have many more opportunities to speak. I also hope you
will put more energies (when you can--as a group I think LCs
are the most over-committed group I have met!) to writing.
The mainstream press needs voices like yours.
