And if you don't, you will.

My daughter (the one in the pic) has been accepted at
Pace Law School, which means she will get to meet up
with RFK, Jr. and maybe take a class or two with him.

When she graduates from Law School, Helen will be 90!!

Still, if she has half the energy and drive she still
has now, we will be hearing from Helen for many years
to come. She and my dad were past presidents of the
Gridiron Club, so they knew each other since the 1960s.
Now, she is one of the last of a great generation of
journalists--beholden to no one, and willing to "speak
out against the madness," as CS&N put it. Not in anger,
but all the more forcefully because of that. Just the
courage to look evil and wrongdoing in the face and say
so.

I don't know what's going on in Journalism Schools across
the USA these days, but whatever it is, it ain't working,
What becomes of us when the likes of Helen are no longer
writing and posing "uncomfortable" questions? Woe is the
land whose journalists are solely of the caliber of "Jeff
Gannon," Glen Beck or David Brooks.
