"Katherine is an excellent writer: Her grasp of the language and grammatical
expertise is an asset that is all too rare these days. Add to this a keen
critical sense of her subjects, an unwillingness to sacrifice quality simply for
the sake of pith, a timekeeper  's sense of deadline, her ability to write
economically and quickly, and communicative skills equal to those of a
speechwriter's, make her a formidable candidate. Her willingness to work as a
fundamental and often visionary part of a team, along with an advanced sense of
fairness and responsibility underscores her potential as a leader." - Thom Jurek,
Senior Staff Writer, All Music Guide (a division of Macrovision)
