...admire her stride, but that's because I am following in her footsteps. (Though, of course, she did it all in heels.) I've been on the other end of that phone line, tap-dancing to bring a source around. And this year, I've been shuttling from Washington to Austin, stuffing myself at age 32 into the Bush campaign jet the way she did into those drafty prop planes in the same town, at the same age, 40 years ago.

Though I was given a free e-mail account my freshman year of college (this was, mind you, back in the Internet's Paleolithic era), it took me a full two years to send my first message. While students all around me were tapping out notes to friends and family and sending breezy missives to professors, I was losing touch with my high school buddies, playing phone tag with my parents and staking out the mobbed office hours of my teachers, where etiquette demanded only the pithiest of conversations. But once professors started...
