She was a pioneer as a woman journalist. She interviewed everyone from Kissinger to Arafat.

And it makes you wonder, doesn't it? Your average joe and josephine (unlike news-wonks like the average freeper) would probably say, "Orianna Fallacci? Oh--yeah! I think I had that at Carraba's the other night--it was so good!"

To think, Katie Couric, Star Jones, Barbara "if you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?" Walter's pass for journalists these days.

I loved this woman. Such courage. Her photo should accompany the word indomitable in the dictionary. Alas, not many like her. Maybe Lady Thatcher and Camille Paglia, two more of my icons. I reread The Rage and the Pride the other night. It is comparable to Zola's "J'Accuse" that appeared in L'Aurore. In it she described the execution of three women who had been to a beauty parlor. Despicable savages. And Rosie has the nerve to compare modern day Christians to such venal filth.
