I notice someone added the following (unlinked) essay to the external links list: "Is There Still a Jewish Question? Why I'm an Anti-Anti_Zionist". I took it down because 1) The list is for external links, not a bibliography, and 2) When I put together the essays that are directly linked to from this page, for brevity's sake, I included essays that weren't already linked to on her NYU homepage. "Is There Still a Jewish Question" is linked to there. Peter G Werner 22:59, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Changed to:

"Willis was born in the Bronx, New York and grew up in the borough of Queens. Her father was a police lieutenant in the New York City Police Department. Willis attended Barnard College as an undergraduate and did graduate study at University of California, Berkeley, where she studied comparative literature for a semester but left graduate school shortly afterwards"

Some of this information is not found in any source that I know of, and in the case of her birth place, even contradicts the New York Times obituary. A source for this info is needed. Peter G Werner 03:02, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
