Wow - that's definitely one of your best!  You did a great job of choosing quotes - I really feel like I got a flavor of what it would have been like to see him in person!  I loved the quote about cigarettes, and the one about unions too.  The criticism section rounds out the article nicely - I like the raspberry quote.  You must have done some serious research on this one!  You'd be great as a writer for a magazine like Smithsonian, or the kind of excellent children's non-fiction books where they take care to be factual and draw from primary sources while still being interesting.  (As a homeschooling mom, I read a *lot* of children's non-fiction, some good, some not so much.)  I liked your pill-splitting article too - not sure if I said that before - at first, seeing the title,  I was kind of "Huh? This topic rates an article?", then I actually read it and found it very interesting and informative.  I assume you've written professionally before?  If not, perhaps it's time to dip a toe in that stream...  --[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 23:15, 18 June 2007 (EDT)
