The (Very) Few, the Proud

Drew Ullman, age 20, after two years at college in Santa Barbara, had announced that was putting college life on hold and would join the Marines. He heads to boot camp in January, and said he wishes he could go sooner. His father, a former anti-war activist and full-fledged liberal, said at one time he would have talked his son out of it. Now he realizes he couldn\’t be prouder.
\”My father and I have similar thinking,\” said Drew, who grew up in Beverly Hills and the West Valley, \”what we call our 9-10 and our 9-12 thinking. I feel like I owe a lot to this country, more so than someone who needs to go into the military as a way out. I grew up with money, with a great education, had a lot of advantages that other kids don\’t have, so I really owe a lot to this country.\”
A Father’s Daughter

I am a Jew, a journalist and a professor, but I also am an anguished and proud father. Last month, my wife and I welcomed our daughter back to Los Angeles for her annual visit to observe the High Holidays with our family. She will not be coming home. Home for her is Israel, where she has lived for 23 years.
We hope to talk about things other than the subject, but who\’s kidding whom? After all, we are Jews. Inevitably, we will banter about politics, be it the wackiness of California\’s recall election or the tragedy of Israel\’s dead-end policy in the territories.

Even a casual viewer of KTLA\’s \”Morning News\” knows this much about co-anchor Giselle Fernandez: she\’s informed, attractive and very proud of her Latina and Jewish culture.\n\nSince she joined the breezy, ratings-leading Channel 5 newscast in October to replace founding co-anchor Barbara Beck, Fernandez — who helms the 7 and 8 a.m. editions with Carlos Amezcua — has felt at home on the multiethnic program. She has found a place on television where her ethnic beauty and her dual heritage are actually an asset.
