> My initial reaction is highly negative, that this accidental, fairly
undistinguished person, almost randomly thrown into a historical footnote,
who served very enthusiastically as a propagandist for a totalitarian regime
which deservedly went onto the ash-heap of history, should be honored over
many many women who made long, difficult commitments to advancing social
good.

   [ And as a politically incorrect troglodyte from the same school my
reaction was: As the collectivists now hold hostage most of the world's
institutions so they continue to reward themselves or their soul mates,
fellow travelers, and the select few who helped to pass on the propaganda.
    There are far greater women who helped to advance liberty and freedom,
not to enhance slavery in our time.]
