Gray defended this practice on the grounds that he was just "part of the chain of command" that leads to the White House.

When Richard was alive, she says, he made all the speeches for women's rights; "but now I have to make the speeches. And strangely enough, I find I can. Knowing I must stand on my own, I can.
