Eldon:

Interesting that you are using "which Theosophy" as a criteria for judging
the success of a Adyar TS President. I did not think about it in those
terms. I was interested in what she has done that would suggest to me her
values (i.e. her character). Who she is related to, her education, and past
positions of authory she has held, tells me nothing of this.
