At home or in her office. Would anyone notice a difference?

RE: At home or in her office. Would anyone notice a difference?

Calvin Coolidge was the 30th President of the United States, and his highly reserved character in social settings led to the nickname “Silent Cal”. A few years after his death in 1933 two similar anecdotes began to circulate about the spoken reaction to the news of Coolidge’s demise. Reportedly, when the wit Dorothy Parker was notified she said:

“How can they tell?”

Also, when the raconteur Wilson Mizner was told he said:

“How do they know?”

The difference is Ruth Bader Ginsburg was anything but silent in her heyday.
