An excerpt from The Nine, by Jeffrey Toobin describing Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor:
"After blazing through Stanford Law School and graduating in 1952, O'Connor did not receive a single job offer as a lawyer. ( The major Los Angeles law firm of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher said she could come to work as a legal secretary.) But O'Connor ignored the slights, as became her custom, and concentrated instead on building a life with her new husband, John."
Oh, the parallels between Sandra (can I call her Sandra?) and myself! At this rate, I think it's safe to assume I'll be the next influential Supreme Court nominee.
