| 54. This might come as news |

But she suffered more critical comments in the last year than she had gotten from angry right wingers
during the whole of her career. She heard every one of them. She surely doesn't need someone stationed
in Europe to shield her from anything. She does need friends, as does everyone who is not a total hermit.
She is not a hermit, and I am her friend. When I'm Stateside and we get together, we do not dissect (again)
all the angry words leveled toward her. I see no disconnect.

Some? There's always people who scream "anti-semite" in response to anti-zion comments. |

I'm sure there are a number of Jews who would agree that there is tragedy. |
