Have you all noticed how Peggy has something for everyone: secular and religious, liberal and conservative, rich and poor, male and female, young and old. That is an art that very people can manage.

One day she's mingling with high society, the next she's reading religious articles on the net. She isn't ashamed of her family, her faith or her friends (conservative).

There's a serenity about her that is so engaging. That, plus talent, is hard to beat.

I cannot imagine a better compliment, were I Peggy Noonan. What a wonderful tribute to this very special author.

Peggy just fills me with emotion. She somehow knows how to tap that cord that truly binds all of us, a cord that sears thru economic or racial divides and connects us all somewhere in the realm of our humanity/shared experiences. She has not forgotten what carrys meaning, and is not afraid to refer to it, often. This is REAL intellectualism at work.

Somehow, even tho she has traveled in highly sophisticated circles, full of real power and probably unending tirades from so called elitists who are full of their own ego driven selves, Peggy has stayed the course of reality. She has managed to stay 'in touch'. What a treasure! Peggy does not gloss over the nuance, she blows it wide open and presents such a clear view of the moment that the reader cannot avoid that 'oh yeah, I know exactly what she means' kind of feeling that draws us all a bit closer. Peggy's magic way with words comes from the heart and makes the soul sing.

Peggy's true friends are very fortunate people.
