Dianne Feinstein was remembered in a service befitting a monarch. But the memorial was also a homecoming and farewell from those who knew her best.
For one last day, Dianne Feinstein reigned. She reigned over this lovely, enchanted, vexing and deeply troubled city. The city where she was born, the city that nurtured and sustained and tortured her, and sometimes broke her heart. Dignitaries arrived and tributes flowed from around the country as those closest to the late U.S. senator and former mayor gathered for a final remembrance outside San Francisco's majestic City Hall.
Feinstein's resolute performance the day of Moscone's murder — standing on those steps and announcing the deaths of the mayor and her fellow supervisor, Harvey Milk — braced the city as it reeled and nearly buckled. It set a template for the rest of her political career: unbending, strong, determined. Feinstein was also crisp and focused, and much of Thursday's service reflected that public face.
