-
-
-
- Five months after being appointed the first woman to run a
- police department in a major city, Houston police chief
- Elizabeth M. Watson, 40, has come up with yet another
- unprecedented development: she confirmed last week that she was
- carrying the third child she and her husband, police sergeant
- Robert Watson, had planned. The baby is due in December. "I'm
- not sure what I think," said a perplexed member of the force.
-
- your chief to be pregnant." Not to worry, Watson replied. As
- she did during her first two pregnancies, she plans to work up
- to and including the delivery date. She will designate an
- acting chief for her brief absence from duty. Even then, Watson
- promised, "I'll only be a phone call away."
-
- Just dial 911.
