A needed, brave soul
Reader comment on item: Appreciating Oriana Fallaci

Every so often someone arrives on the scene, and those paying attention to that person have a mirror placed in front of them. Those paying attention have a choice: either they be honest with themselves on a one by one basis, as well as a community - or they ignore the reflection that is in the mirror.

My hope is that more people pay attention to the reflection of the mirror held up by La Fallaci, because of how much she poured of herself into her writings - rather than the numbers who are not interested in their reflection in the mirror held up by a needed and intrepid soul.
