That's tremendous. She's my new hero up there with Elizabeth Warren.

BTW, I think you'll enjoy her PS in yesterday's blog post when she first heard about the Newsweek article:

P.S.: I see in the latest issue of Newsweek that Bill Gates considers

and a voice. In the end, what wins: Ideas or money? We'll see.
