I agree - a great article. I especially liked her statement about "I have been forever changed".

However, I am very curious about the comments regarding Rummy. I find it very difficult to believe these things would be spoken in front of media.

Same here. When I was in the Navy, I had been told that Patsy Schroeder was going to visit my ship. I made some very crude comments about what I thought of her, and my Cheif "ordered" me to go spend the morning at McDonald's so I wouldn't get into trouble. I would never have said or done anything disrespectful in front of a non-enlisted person (except maybe my Division Officer, who had the same feelings about her). I went to McDonald's anyway. Why pass up an opportunity to get out of acting like human window dressing?
