SHE'S GOT A POINT

Patricia A. McGuire, President of Trinity College and a member of the committee of experts chosen to pick the design of the new dollar coin, was quoted in the November 19, 1999 Wall Street Journal in an article about the new Sacagawea coin:

"Ultimately, we decided that we wanted someone who had actually lived, not an allegorical figure. After all, no one ever says we need to have mythical men on our currency."
