I was so grateful to CNN for putting on the RBG documentary as a Labor Day treat. We'd not been able to see it when it was in the theaters - that coincided with Alice's diagnosis - but here it was, beamed into my own study ... Hard to know what was the most impressive part - I mean, obviously, her impact on women's rights issues - but beyond that - her press-ups? her work ethic (hard at it until 4 a.m.? that puts the rest of us to shame ...) her dry sense of humor? her capacity to enjoy everything, seemingly? her clarity and principle? I felt Alice wince gently beside me when we learned that she didn't miss a day in the courtroom because of her chemo - from which one surmises either that she was fortunate in her timing, or else that she didn't endure taxotere. What a woman. And meanwhile, the White House refuses to release - what? 100,000 pages of records pertaining to Kavanaugh's service there. Please, RBG, keep doing those press-ups; doing sit-ups with volleyball throws; lifting the weights ... we need you.
