A quote about cellist Alisa Weilerstein: "She's young, accomplished, whip-smart and attractive, so why don't we hate her?" To make it even more difficult to say anything bad about her, just after we chatted with her this past October, she participated in an anti-prop 8 fund raiser in San Francisco.
