I'm delighted to find that Ms. Holst(-Warhaft) is still around and
active. 
Many thanks, Sandra,

"The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, 
begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing 
evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but
you 
cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you 
murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely 
increases hate...Returning violence for violence multiples violence, 
adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness 
cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out 
hate: Only love can do that."
                                --Martin Luther King, Jr.
