Lisa Fernandez – 'Sports Is One Way to Teach So Much About Life'
Newsweek Europe
|July 01 - 08, 2022 (Double Issue)
Lisa Fernandez, 51, has often been called women's softball's greatest-of-all-time. An overpowering pitcher and a great hitter, in the 1990s she led the UCLA Bruins to two national titles and the U.S. Olympic team to three gold medals, helping to spark the sport's tremendous growth in popularity since then. She is now an assistant coach at UCLA. The following conversation has been edited for space and clarity. -Meredith Wolf Schizer

Revolt of the Urban Taxpayer
WE'RE OFFICIALLY IN PRIMARY SEASON, WITH THE MID- terms in less than six months-sooner than you think. Will the Democrats take back the House? Pretty likely. The Senate? The longer the war in Iran drags on, the likelier that once-unthinkable outcome gets. But the race I can't look away from has nothing to do with the balance of power in Congress.
