KABUL, Afghanistan -- The two Massachusetts women walk down a fly-infested alley where sewage from mud huts drains onto the dirt walkway. In a tiny backyard, they find two dozen chickens, five children -- and one Afghan war widow. Patti Quigley of Wellesley and Susan Retik of Needham -- whose husbands were killed in the Sept. 11 attacks

These women seem to personify charity, although I did not fully check into the back ground.

Seems like a good article about two generous women...the Boston Fishwrap didn't try to shoehorn in their liberal anti-war bias...there must be something more to it!

I guess I'll find out tomorrow when I pick it up off of my driveway.
