[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've met Speaker Pelosi and most of her team, and they are charming and friendly:  she's petite, but I wouldn't call her short.  She looks much younger than her actual age.

My husband's law school graduation speaker was Rev. Jesse Jackson, who was struggling mightily with a recent fracture and was clearly not himself.  It was so disappointing, mainly because so many had anticipated this great speech and storied speaker and everything was flat.  It was a time I truly wished for do-overs.

I'll never forget seeing Bill Clinton while he was shopping for the holidays during his first term. Iwas in my late 20's.   It was at Georgetown Mall and was of course a staged photo op, but the sheer charisma surrounding him...his smile radiated across the Mall, literally.  I saw him again over 20 years later, and that same presence was "there," again,  even when I was at a considerable difference.  Both situations illuminated what a magnetic presence can "feel" like, and I could imagine how that same presence could be very disruptive even as it could channel a lot of good works.

Agreed; Clinton came to my campus and I was part of a small audience. The charisma is real.

And I also had some Christopher Reeve sightings in NYC and I agree on him, too. So handsome. [/quote]

My mom helped organize an event that Christopher Reeve attended. She was running around and accidentally knocked one of the wires connecting something he needed. His aide was able to reconnect it, but he looked terrified and she was mortified. [/quote]
