something rebecca didn't get. but on the other hand, what her letter shows is that many citizens perceived madison as someone independent of jefferson, not dependent on him. she would not have approached the new president was so blunt and opinion unless she thought she had a decent chance of getting through to him. this vignette exposes one of our central themes, which is easy enough to identify if you look at the cover of the book, and look at the type and see who gets top billing. in every historical treatment that describes their partnersh partnership, jefferson has received most of the attention, positive and negative. madison distance to us as an emotionally neutral actor. it's a false portrait. true, jefferson was and remains thoroughly fascinating. but only two shortcuts taken by our national storytellers, madison has been greatly diminished in stature. maybe that sounds like a play on words because madison 5'4" and rather scrawny. but as a matter of fact, his physical stature has long been part of the gene

chester hartman comes to mind, and another writer that we were talking about was rebecca solmet wrote some interesting books as well. i just wanted to put that out there. commissioner miguel: i also read the article that commissioner antonini referred to, and it seemed to me that perhaps one part of the bay area air quality board not talking to the other part of the board or something -- either they are going to be transit-oriented development in order to improve air quality, or you are going to say that there is too much air pollution near transit, and therefore move it further out. i'm not quite sure which one is going to take hold, but the dichotomy totally confuses me. also, on -- the one thing that was missing from the article regarding the state offices moving outside of san francisco -- my first question was -- what are they considered qualifying workers, or are they paying so low they cannot compete? it made no sense to me at all. i think you all know the number of people who would normally be qualified to work for that agency that live in san francisco and are looking for a w
