At a recent rally I was pleased to see a young woman wearing a tee-shirt proclaiming "A WOMAN'S PLACE IS IN THE HOUSE--AND THE SENATE"; happily I said, "Bella lives!"
I could tell from her curious look that she didn't understand my comment. I said, "That comes from Bella Abzug's campaign slogan in 1970." The woman said she had never heard of Bella. I said, "She was one of your FOREMOTHERS." She said, "I thought you meant Bella from Twilight." We need to do a better job of educating our youngsters.
