WE ARE OUR MOTHERS' DAUGHTERS

The formidable Cokie Roberts of NPR and ABC shares her thoughts on the powerful women she admires, including her sister, a mayor; and her mother, a congresswoman. If you've heard her on the air, you know what she sounds like. She is well-practiced in reading her own copy. Journalistic as a writer, Roberts is most interesting when delivering analysis, her particular genius, and dullest when going over background events where her enunciation flags in her rush to get these passages over with. Nonetheless, her thoughts are absorbing, instructive and inspiring. Y.R. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 99]
