What a difference a Day O'Connor makes

Filed under: In Memoriam

This just in from Minor Tweaks: the first draft of O'Connor's resignation letter. Also, from the current Time:


Self-reliance was also a political value: her father Harry was a staunch opponent of Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal. And it was a reason to respect knowledge: O'Connor's mother Ada Mae, a college graduate, would read to her from the New Yorker and the Wall Street Journal, and when Sandra was 5 years old she went to El Paso, Texas, where she lived with her grandmother and went to Radford, a private girls' school. All this and more...

Where it will all end, knows God.
