Passing notes
It was 7:30AM, a Breakfast Roundtable entitled "Relations Between the Arab and Western Worlds--Can they improve?" The panel was stacked with big names (Albright and Queen Noor among others) and so the room was filled to the brim. The Grand Mufti of Bosnia sat on the periphery. A few chairs down, separated by the door, was Sandra Day O'Connor.

The Mufti took out his card and a piece of paper and passed a note down the line to the Supreme. It said, "I wish I had a copy of the United States Constitution." Sandra Day received the note and smiled at the Mufti, who bowed slightly. Then she reached into her bag and pulled out her pocket copy of the Constitution (and the Declaration of Independence.) She wrote a note on it to the Grand Mufti and passed it back through the crowd.

What a fabulous reflection on Sandra Day O'connor! She is now, and always was, prepared.
