Watch the movie Gandhi.
I liked this movie, but my friend and colleague Joyce Pressley--no relatiion to Elvis, did not. She said, "It does not depict his relationship to women."
Joyce and I received our doctorates from Penn at the same commencement ceremony.
She was a Fulbright scholar in India and sometimes displayed Indian mannerisms, which I thought very cute. She was the only real friend I made at Penn.
I was at my part time job which she found for me designing an on campus security questionaire when Challenger exploded (we saw it on TV) and she started to cry.
