I'll do that. I read a few other articles about her and she sounds like a remarkable woman.

As long as it gave you another reason to mention something you did, my job is done Scott. Now, try reading some of her 70s era work to learn more about her. (Linked above, easily found on Amazon). Then you'll have something better to remember her by.

The Washington Post has a good obituary of her today. The name sounded familiar and especially the anecdote about Kissinger calling his interview his worst experience with the press as she got him to say things he would much regret. The reason I remembered it was because it was mentioned during an interview I did with the author of the Patriots Act.

I had forgotten Oriana Fallaci and hadn't paid attention to her Italian battle with Islam. Thanks for the reminder, Temple. I do remember the interview with Kissinger and her strong presence in those years. The London Times has another good article about her with a photograph that reminded me of the other fact about her - besides her great mind, her heart in the right place and her writing skill - she was a beautiful woman, too.
