It is indeed a treasure, and I like the fiery language, too.
It's all very fine to be ladylike, but there's also a time to speak bluntly and call a spade a spade.

Since I have a moment ( I woke up at 3 with a wolf-face in mine... that'll teach me to give Taffy a bite of pork from the Chinese takeout last night... ) I'll link those articles-

-Anger and Pride by Oriana Fallaci.. Her first essay about 9-11-2002 attack--

-Anti-semitism today--

I highly recommend reading & re-reading her work... not just for the opinions expressed, but for the manner in which she expresses them.
If you follow some of the links & comments, you'll see she has a highly effective narrative technique, too, when interviewing famous people.

I do plan to read more of her works. Thanks for the links. I appreciate the honesty of her writing.
