Lady in the Dark

A little more than a year ago, I wrote about Daw Aung San Suu Kyi that "sometimes it's useful to be reminded that glamor comes in many forms, and that gallantry and courage exist outside old movies. It's a fouled-up world all right, but as long as there are outraged souls who won't back down, we've got a rope to cling to."

Some days it's harder than others to believe that, but I think if we're not to go mad, believe we must.

"The Lady"


We try and keep things light here at the Café, but sometimes it's useful to be reminded that glamor comes in many forms, and that gallantry and courage exist outside old movies. It's a fouled-up world all right, but as long as there are outraged souls who won't back down, we've got a rope to cling to.
