Prediction, in context:In their 1995 book “The Right to Privacy,” Caroline Kennedy and Ellen Alderman write: ”We are concerned like everyone else with our own privacy, our own rights. What we try to do is evolve a policy that makes sense for us. We’re the ones who have to live with it, and it makes sense to me if I know my limits … No, we don’t check our line.
