  1. your husband is the son of one of the twin gordons who are
    the brothers of norm whom i grew up with. we used to play
    racquetball but now sit around a lot. (kidding) i follow politics (have
    had maybe 75 letters to the editor published in the times and elsewhere) and will now tune you in. norm just told me about you. gotta ask: there are lots of things the dems, my party, should consider in terms of messaging and media. but how does one get to them, and who are they? is there a marketing director or ad agency showing them the ropes, which so far they seem to be hanging themselves on? and, where does ira work? we may need a new vet for our pooch. and, we’re gonna miss rachel. congratulations on your marvelous career. hr
