Pat Schroeder, longtime congresswoman and scourge of the military, has retired and needs a little cushy, well-paying work. Seems she may go to the board of embattled Texaco. “I would be honored to serve,” she said. “There are some similarities to some of the problems in the Army, so I look on this as a little culture-cracking. I understand personnel law, but, traditionally, American boards have looked for people who play golf.”
Mrs. Schroeder, you’re busted. We have seen you at a golf range here in Washington, practicing the sport that has kept this country in patriarchal chains for decades. Maybe Pat was merely doing a bit of research for her ” culture-cracking,” or maybe she has an honest, apolitical enjoyment of the game. Texaco would probably survive its association with Pat Schroeder. The question is: Can golf?
