How wonderful to read in the news about such a man as Rep. Lantos was. Too much we hear of the evil in this world. We need to be reminded that there is also so very much of good.

Rep. Lantos was the MAN. I transcribe Congressional hearings for my job, and I've heard him with his incredibly amazing accent shut down many an arrogant Congressman--and show incredible kindness and decency to witnesses appearing before his committee. He will be sorely missed!
