I always enjoy Mrs. Noonan. She always reminds me of a southern woman, the way she writes. It's surprising to learn she was born and grew up in Brooklyn. (Not that it is a bad thing to be a northerner, just different styles)
I think of her writing like a prize rose. When I find I don't agree with all her thoughts, the whole of it is just so lovely that you hardly notice, and don't even mind, the ocassional thorn.
Thanks again, so much, for the flags.
