She was in fact a former governor of the state of Washington, and briefly the head of the Atomic Energy Commission. To my knowledge, she was never a minister in the religious sense, or a cabinet-level official in the British sense of minister.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03098548597416259318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3180555273509830586.post-58371707319541590392007-06-07T14:55:00.000-07:002007-06-07T14:55:00.000-07:00I have thoroughly enjoyed your guest column with t...I have thoroughly enjoyed your guest column with the <I>New York Times</I> this past month.

We pride ourselves on originality and shun the thought that we may be as predictable as a simple addition problem; For instnace, I always thought psychology was a pile of Stierscheiße until I studied it! When I did I was both shocked and delighted to discover the marvel of its consistent accuracy in pertinence to humanity.<BR/><BR/>Why not social science? It makes perfect sense! Imagine the Nirvana of being able to apply the equal sign to formerly insurmountable and unsearchable social problems? <BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work son!<BR/><BR/>joJustoffalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146526094254402793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3180555273509830586.post-72942781277084891062007-06-02T08:03:00.000-07:002007-06-02T08:03:00.000-07:00I would never have found you if not for the Times!...I would never have found you if not for the Times!
