...understand her rage. I was born two months prematurely and was placed in an incubator. The practice at the time was to pump a large amount of oxygen into the incubator, something doctors have since learned to be extremely cautious about. But as a result, I lost my sight. I was sent to a state school for the blind, but I flunked first grade because Braille just didn't make any sense to me. Words were a weird concept. I remember being hit and slapped.

...probably the funniest serious person who ever lived. She was learned and scrupulous and very brave. She spent the past three years dying of cancer, yet so alive was she with ideas about world events, she made one forget the inevitable. Her small, frail body would shake with rage or laughter at Clinton and Monica, at Congress, at her beloved city of Washington, which she would ridicule in private and defend against outside assaults, as one would a foolish child...
