Elizabeth, was this Maria La Ganga? FWIW I have looked up some of her work, and she is at least not another Deb Saunders. She seems to be a straight-edged news reporter and not a feature or op-ed writer, and her topics tend to lean towards the left:

Much of La Ganga’s LA Times work is not directly available without a subscription (same as WSJ and NYT) but I found her articles cited in several, generally left-leaning blogs or op-ed pages. I am sure that you did a great job relating our case to her. It will be interesting to see what gets printed.

I just hung up with the LA Times reporter. Scary. I'm sure with as responsible and measured and appropriate as I tried to be that I said some juicy/idiotic/misconstrueable stuff upon which journalists are preternaturally able to pounce. I did my best.

I second Jonathan's nomination of Maggie to this team.
