<html> I am not sure if the Virgin's appearance is in support of Elian Gonzalez's stay in the United States or a challenge to make better glass cleaner (after all she could be the "Martha Stewart" of holy apparitions). <a href="http://www.herald.com/content/sun/docs/025573.htm" eudora="autourl">http://www.herald.com/content/sun/docs/025573.</a><a href="http://www.herald.com/content/sun/docs/025573.htm" eudora="autourl">htm </a>Jim "I admit that a man, too, suffers in this society, but no sadness can compare to a woman's.  In the street, she is merchandise.  In the convent, . . . rules take her up in their machinelike gears and pulverize her heart and brain. In the world, she bends under mortification.  In the home, her burdens crush her.  And men want to keep her that way." <x-tab>        </x-tab>-Louis Michel, 1881 (from The Red Virgin:  Memoirs of Louise Michel).</html>
