Hi Christine, I wonder if Jeff Jacoby, the Boston Globe columnist who wrote the editorial about godless people being responsible for the rise of Naziism and the Holocaust, read the article about the Vatican being so involved. Would it matter if he did? I doubt it. It would interfere with his contrived reality. I believe there is still a lot about WW2 that is being kept hidden by the Vatican. Del

>>"In all fairness, however, these countries helped 250,000 Jews, and many other refugees, escape. I was stunned to read in the same article that the United States had one of the worst records in accepting refugees. We took only 21,000 of them. Why was that?

Hi Christine, I thought you might be interested in this piece of news. I just love seeing people "come out" like this. So much human, and spiritual, potential is simply wasted by fear. This kind of integrity is good for the individual, and good for the world.....Best/cd [New York, NY: 22 May 98] TRANSEXUAL WOMAN DONNA Cartwright appeared today on the ABC-TV morning interview program "The View." Ms. Cartwright, a 51-year-old copy editor, is the first New York Times staffer to come out as transgendered. The sympathetic interview, conducted by Barbara Walters and broadcast live on national TV, focused on Cartwright's long struggle with loneliness and isolation and her decision two years ago to resolve her gender conflict by transitioning with a view to Sexual Reassignment Surgery (SRS) sometime early next year. Ms. Cartwright described the mostly positive reaction of her family and co-workers and the support she received from Times management, but she stressed the importance of transgender institutions like the Gender Identity Project (GIP) of the Lesbian and Gay Community Center in Manhattan. It was the GIP, according to Cartwright, that truly changed her life. And she talked of the positive impact of her decision on the rest of her life. "I have become a warmer, friendlier, more outgoing person since beginning my transition," she said.
