[AGL] Mollie Ivins bit on Jim Lehrer's News Hour last night

[Gerry]

Do you remember the debates she had with Stanley Crouch on 60 minutes? Much
wit in the mix. I thought they were great, if a bit over the head of the
common folk. She told me she got to know Stanley and liked him, but we both
agreed that he was a racist. (My opinion formed from his writing on jazz in
the village voice and elsewhere).
