American Notes
HOUSTON
Pregnancy and The Chief
</hdr>
<body>
<p> 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.
</p>
<p>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."
