Welcome
A few days alter the president nominated her to the Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg received a fax from a member of the Rotary Club in Bernardsville, New Jersey. On June 18, the writer reported, one of Judge Ginsburg's law school classmates had presided over a Rotarian induction ceremony; and during his formal remarks after dinner, the classmate recalled that he and his friends had known Ginsburg "by her law school nickname, 'Bitch.'" Apologizing profusely, the writer assured Ginsburg that he had asked Rotary Club authorities to ban "sexist and scatological statements" at all meetings in the future. Ginsburg read the fax silently. She then exclaimed, "Better bitch than mouse."
