Ann, just had to say: you are an exceptionally powerful writer. I felt like I’ve been taken by the shoulders and shaken for the last half hour. I just read and reread your Bulletin #17. It started out as a FEAST for my mind — a thrilling intellectual feast — complete with me furiously underlining passages and scribbling ‘Wow!’ and ‘And how!’ all over the margins. It gradually expanded into my feelings and suddenly overwhelmed me because what you wrote was so true for our country — and so powerfully true for my own life as well — it ultimately had me sobbing. I am not even certain why my response was so so intense.
