It's great to be in Miami. Having spent most of my life in the north, I think of autumn as a special time of year. The leaves are falling. There's frost on the grass.
Snow is just around the corner.
As I prepared to come to Miami to give this lecture for the Women's Studies Program, I realized that one of the nation's leading authorities on the status of women is right here in your own backyard. I'm talking about the Miami Herald columnist, Dave Barry. Actually, Dave thinks he's got it all figured out. If women were in charge of the country, there also would be no such sport as professional lawn mower racing. And if women were in charge of all the world's nations, he believes there would be virtually no military conflicts.
