"He's got a very good arm, and he's big 6 foot 3. He still has to learn some things. But I was impressed with his arm strength. Reid drove back to Houston after and worked out for the Texans the next day. He said he was confident he can play in the NFL."

“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
