Quote:Twelve of the 18 readers were women, but the group was bipartisan, bringing together lawmakers who rarely cooperate. They included liberals like Ms. Speier and three Republicans. Representative Paul Gosar of Arizona, a conservative Republican, said he had been horrified when he read Emily Does statement.

Stanford is accustomed to being No. 1 at a lot of things, but this is not a source of pride, Ms. Eshoo said.
