He discusses issues such Be a columnist,” he said, walking up Sixth Avenue from our meeting at a midtown bar. “You’ll walk taller.” The strange thing is, it wasn’t all that strange for me. My life at this point had already begun to etch a pattern: take a leap, live the adventure, learn what I could. Here I was making another dive into the unknown; yet another case of doing what I was afraid to do.What I had going for me in this instance, perhaps all I had, was a message. It was the corruptive influence of money in politics. To dramatize my crusade, I would declare that I would accept no campaign contributions whatsoever.

I had begun my climb in politics. One successful leap of faith, to Africa, had led to another, to Washington. It was my Northern Irish grandmother who saw the connection. An immigrant in her youth, she knew the strength that emerges when a person is forced to adjust to a distant land. “It was Africa,” she confronted me. “Wasn’t it?”
