Hillary's being bold, too. From a story by Michael R. Blood in today's New York Daily News:
>Meanwhile, Senate candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton called Diallo's
>death "a terrible tragedy" that "we must not allow ... to divide New
>Yorkers." She made no mention of her controversial statement that
>Diallo's death was a murder, which she later retracted.
>
>"We must reach across the lines that too often divide us and the
>mistrust that stands between us and join in common resolve to ensure
>that no tragedy like this ever happens again," the First Lady said.
>"We must honor Amadou Diallo's memory by coming together to build a
>stronger community."
