I remember reading Marilyn vos Savant every week as a teenager. At the time I half suspected that she wasn't real--just a character made by a team or something.

I remember reading Marilyn vos Savant every week as a teenager. At the time I half suspected that she wasn't real--just a character made by a team or something. [This was before the internet, so I couldn't just ask Google.] I'm happy that she's real and as smart as portrayed. But what really impressed me is how calmly she received all the negative feedback and personal insults. No matter what, she never lashed back. I have a feeling that's authentic too.
