I am pretty sure that is on the shelves of To Be Read! I will get it out! Is it about that time period? Pettiness and greatness are not mutually exclusive Ain't that the truth! I guess that's why attack politics is just so exhausting and depressing. Rising above pettiness is an ongoing battle- not just with those perpetrating it, but with oneself not to indulge in it. I don't even like Hillary, but I find Dick Morris's list of lies weak. Who cares if she thought she was named after Edmund Hillary. The women were incredible. The men could not have done what they did without the enormous sacrifice of the women. And the poor things were almost constantly pregnant. ANd many of them were intensely involved in the politics- reading and writing to each other and their husbands. The one person I wound up thinking less of was Ben Franklin, who had a second family in England, and chose to remain with them for several years. I also read that he sat on the fence for a long time waiting to see which way the revolution was shaping up, before he threw in his lot with the insurgents.
