Agree. AND she puts the dangerous idiocy of today in perspective with historic dangerous idiocy.

HCR writes her letter for today from the viewpoint of the future looking back at the past, without emotion. She writes in her historic log what took place yesterday, or last week, removing it entirely from the realm of gossip and hearsay. She says only what is needed to elegantly close the circle of her current observation.

Fascinating comparison, Roy. All America watched Walter, too few read Heather. I hope her writing spurs reporters at news outlets to dig into the issue in order to start a national conversation.
