Sad that Astrid L had to have her child raised by a foster parent - it was so common then. I feel that the modern world needs people like Mary Lasker who take a broader and more sane view of issues like public health - too important to be squabbled over from a narrow political point of view.Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-60073144415626856452012-03-12T16:44:38.726-04:002012-03-12T16:44:38.726-04:00Very interesting post.
