Michelle, on your Jocelyn Elders remark, I understand what you were trying to say.. The point I was trying to make (in a telegraphic fashion) was that Dr. Elders was pilloried not so much for what she personally thought about a particular policy, as for advocating that we all discuss it! Publicly! And even challenge it! And then, perhaps, revise it! Oh, horrors! It is true that "controversial" -- or "naive"-- types like Dr. Elders tend to antagonize too many people to get anything done -- themselves. But by ignoring the taboos on certain subjects and opening up public discourse, they may make it easier for their successors to get something done (if their successors actually want to). jbe
