I could see the ADA employee (American Diabetes Association, to the un-initiated), resembling a young Harry Potter, sitting at a computer in a dark room. His face is highlighted from the glow of the computer screen as he comprises the e-mail that I received on March 9, 2009. This e-mail announced, and praised, President Obama for signing the order...
