My Take
Barbara Boxer reads to me as the embodiment of persistence. A Brooklyn woman who passed through stockbroking and newspaper editing before serving California in the Senate for nearly a quarter century is not someone who drifted into power. That kind of longevity demands conviction and a thick skin in equal measure. What I find most telling is that retirement did not silence her; she turned to writing novels, as if the urge to express herself simply could not be switched off. I respect people who hold a line for decades and still have something to say, and she clearly does.
