...July. This time I was the object of the ''struggle'' meeting, attended not only by the Red Guards and the Revolutionaries who had come to my house but also by the former staff of Shell.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi emphasized her maternal and grandmaternal qualities as she shepherded through the House a modest and popular agenda of ethics reform, a minimum-wage hike and cheaper drugs for seniors.
