<div>Hi all:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>This is not really an MIT-related issue but an attempt to help
out my friend Don Aucoin at The Globe.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Don asked me the following question:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><i>"I've been asked to do a story on gay marriage that
explores the views of<br>
what might be called the broad middle, and I'm reaching out to smart
people<br>
like you to ask if you might know someone who could be described as on
the<br>
fence on the issue?</i><br>
<i></i></div>
<div><i>"I'm looking to interview folks who are generally
supportive of or<br>
open-minded about gay rights but asking themselves whether that
support<br>
extends all the way to marriage. It would have to be someone willing
to<br>
sort of walk me through their ongoing internal struggle, and it would
have<br>
to be someone who hasn't made up their mind yet one way or the other.
It<br>
doesn't matter whether they end up pro or anti, as long as
they're</i></div>
<div><i>genuinely grappling with it now and willing to talk about
it.</i><br>
<i></i></div>
<div><i>"f you know of anyone who fits this description and might
be open to at</i></div>
<div><i>least discussing the possibility of an interview, could you
please email me</i></div>
<div><i>at aucoin@globe.com or call 617-929-2901?"</i></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Everyone I know has long since made up his or her mind on this
issue. Anyone know someone who might fit the bill?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div>Bill</div>
