The only thing tougher than Justice Ginsberg was the cancer that took her at age 87.  While the sun isn’t out just yet, the hope is that it’s just over the horizon. 21. What did Winston Groom want to tell us through Forrest Gump? A. Forrest Gump had a box of chocolates. B. A person’s character determines his fate. C. We didn’t expect
