      Dear Mrs. Graham,

      On behalf of my generation of women, we are the daughters of the boomers, thank you madam for your pithy intelligence, constant grace, steely humour and steadfast courage. We women walk more freely on the trail you blazed.

      And, wearing our versions of many feminisms, we also strategically wink in the face of intolerant sexism we continue to encounter. Your memoir got me through hard moments in grad school, several broken hearts, and has taught me to 'hang in' as you said.

      My unborn children will know your name. As Toni Morrison would say, you taught us grace 'under duress' by your actions.

      With a grateful heart,

      A young woman.

      The dead do not become any less innocent.

      If that were true. We would all be innocent.

      READ ALL ABOUT IT: Wait a minute. We cant. Thanks to the likes of Graham. 55 YEARS Bilderberg has been meeting. 55 YEARS! Not a single word in print. So much for "Freedom" of the Press.
