Truthdig interview covers much of the same material as I saw on CSpan2 Oct 6. Book is "A Woman in Charge."
Her college thesis was on Saul Alinsky who offered her a job she turned down.
"She came to question his methodology and concluded in her thesis that larger government programs and funding were needed, not just community action at the grass roots."
Please notice the part about her not passing the DC bar exam. |

Margaret Bassett passed away August 21, 2011. She was a treasured member of the Opednews.com editorial team for four years.
Margaret Bassett--OEN editor--is an 89-year old, currently living in senior housing, with a lifelong interest in political philosophy. Bachelors from State University of Iowa (1944) and Masters from Roosevelt University (1975) help to unravel important requirements for modern communication. Early introduction to computer science (1966) trumps them. It's payback time. She's been "entitled" so long she hopes to find some good coming off the keyboard into the lives of those who come after her.
