Another in the endless series of articles that showed just how badly the Republicans framed Teresa. She is as always incredible - http://www.post-gazette.com/businessnews/20000227heinz02271.asp

"Heinz participated in the selection of an architect for the District's new O'Reilly Theater, which opened last month. Brown also involved Heinz in the design of the Allegheny Riverfront Park.

"She works behind the scenes to encourage good design," Brown said.

When asked about her influence on new riverfront development, Heinz said: "Influence is an interesting word. If you think of how parents try to influence children, how do you do it? Two ways I can think of. Ask smart questions and show by example. It doesn't always work, but those are the two best ways I know of. Of course, there is the old one with the whip, but I don't think that's so smart. Sometimes it's easier, but not so smart."

Cliff Shannon, who worked for Sen. Heinz from 1976 to 1991, said Teresa uses different ways to get involved, depending on the situation.

"She is a person with strong points of view, and she will use the means she thinks are best to push her points of view. That doesn't mean everything is going to be the landing on Iwo Jima. She can work within groups, behind the scenes or she can be outspoken."

one of the biggest disappointments with Kerry not being President was losing out on what she could have done.
