		That embassy noted that Ms Devlin had made "a considerable impact as a personality and a political phenomenon" but much of the publicity she received concentrated on her as a personality and the "harrowing tales she tells" rather than on political substance.
		In San Francisco, Ms Devlin's attendance at the cocktail party and her "exchange of clench-fisted salutes" with radical Berkeley students helped raise about $5,000, the British embassy said.

		Bernadette is against the war in Iraq, and I've never heard her say a good word about George W., but that's not why Immigration and Naturalization Service officers in Chicago stopped her on Feb. 21.
		In 1983, she inquired about a visa to speak at a rally for an Irish prisoner, and when she was told she wouldn't get one, she didn't apply.

		Bernadette jokingly refers to herself now as one of the few middle-aged revolutionaries and by current form intends to continue the struggle for another 25 years if necessary.

	RHE 309K: Republican Ideology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Bernadette Devlin describes the depressing effect of high unemployment and deprivation in Northern Ireland, where men are “sentenced to unemployment because there are not enough jobs, and there are not enough jobs because investment is made on grounds of profit, not on grounds of people’s needs” (89).
		Although anti-Catholic discrimination no doubt has played a role in economic deprivation, the real problem is simple indifference from the British government, according to Devlin and other republicans.
		The British government simply does not care about the people and, lacking compassion and generosity, is willing to leave them in poverty and deprivation; this belief among republicans was a large factor that laid the foundation for the Troubles in the 1960s and ‘70s.
