Silence is deeply important in all of our lives.

Its always in the second administration when things start to go sour. They circle the wagons.

Often what we do is open our house for various charity events. I don't seat according to protocol. I don't invite people because of who they are in the administration or their positions of power. The few who do come, are there because I like them.

I think, certainly in the more civilized societies, women's roles are growing in power all of the time.

This morning in the Washington Post there was a statistic about how 85% of Americans are Christians.

When you say you don't get religion, you're just saying that you don't get organized religion.

I now consider myself quite religious and spiritual although that sounds like a terrible cliche.
