MAN. That night catapulted Dianne Feinstein onto the national stage because of how controlled and poised and strong and steady she was as a San Francisco Supervisor, I believe, when she announced to the press that Moscone and Milk had been shot. After running the City for awhile, the Senate beckoned.

Damn. That was such a shocking night. The news she bore was soooooo bad, so horrifying. And it led us into a whole new world of the dreaded "Twinkie Defense."

What a curse that was! Really, we have yet to live it down.
