- From the NY Times obituary of Millicent Fenwick (after whom Lacey in Doonesbury
- was modeled):
-
- In a debate over equal rights for women, she once recalled, a male legislator
- said: "I just don't like this amendment. I've always thought of women as
- kissable, cuddly, and smelling good." Her reply was classic Fenwick:
- "That's the way I feel about men, too. I only hope for your sake that you
- haven't been disappointed as often as I have."
