paulette and i were both there. we were very excited but nervous because the committee chairman announced the school of the committee's work. and it was his intent to evaluate the entire page program. i thought the more you broaden this, the more complicated it gets and the more you could derail girl pages. well, senators javetz and percy testified, took qs and a's. senator fred the subcommittee members had many questions. pay, accommodations, what the girls would wear, supervision, safety. they spent a long time talking about whether they should just kick the can down the road and not do anything until the dorm was built, which we all know is time measured in decades, not days. they wondered if the job was too physically strenuous. paulette had a nice comeback to this issue. she was asked by a reporter, can you run as fast as the boys? she said no. but i'm a very fast walker. the senators wondered if the gender barriers all over the hill should break down. elevator operators, capitol police, post office workers, ja

, paulette, it's not that hard. there was another set to discover rule 282. senator percy showed our pictures to all of the boy pages and that fast had more than a dozen volunteers to escort us anywhere we want today go on cap 208 hill. from the dorm to school to work back to the dorm to the movies. for ice cream. all of this time, i expected to start school any day. and another boy page would meet me in the hall way, kind of like to give me the spanish homework. in early march, the subcommittee held hearings. we were very excited but nervous because the committee chairman announced the school. and it was his intent to evaluate the entire page program. i thought the more you broaden this, the more complicated it gets and the more you could derail girl pages. well, senators javetz and percy testified, took qs and as of senator fred the subcommittee members had many questions. pay. accommodations. what the girls would wear. supervision, safety. they spent a lot of time talking about kicking the can down the road and n

next we have paulette frankl. and paulette is a courtroom sketch artist. now, how cool is that? that's a pretty cool job, and she spends a lot of time in the courtroom and that's how she came across tony serra. and she spent 17 years, 17 years compiling the incredible book that she's put together that just came out and is called "lush for justice," and it's a book of incredible illustrations, artwork as well as a narrative. and right next to her we have tony serra, and tony serra is the most prolific trial lawyer of our times. he's tried more cases than any other living lawyer. if you ever had a chance to see him in court, it's just a sight to behold. it really is. we're so grateful that he could be here today. he's trying a triple homicide case right now in oakland. he has a jury out waiting. you may get called away but we're hope you're able to stay for the panel. finally, we have sheldon siegel. and sheldon siegel is a corporate lawyer who has written a series -- i think seven books now, a fictional criminal defense attorney named mike daley who actually lives here in san fra

i'm going to ask the first one for paulette. in taking tony's essence, who he is as a trial lawyer, how does you tell that story in the book? paulette's book is for sale in the lobby and also at green arcade books here in san francisco. how did you do that? you used your art, obviously, and you used writings. but how did you tell that story? what was your hook? >> well, i am not a particularly cerebral person. the king that connected me with tony to begin with is that i connected with his energy at the advice relevant level -- visceral level. i felt his energy. and that's how i could translate it, if you will, into my own sense of emotions, the compassion, the rage, the passion, all the various faces that he has. and then in court he acts out all the roles. so you get the full gamut of the human condition going on. i connected with tony at that visceral level. and then i went to a translation process and a sort of distilled, if you will, process of putting it into context. and i was there in many of the trials, the trials that i

i'm going to go to paulette and go to john on this question. but, paulette, you've seen so many trials as a court -- first of all, how did you become a courtroom sketch artist? i mean, that's not a usual profession for people, even artists, to seek. how did you get involved in it? >> just about everything in my life has been dumb luck. and i ended up in a courtroom while waiting for somebody and i've been an artist all my life and i always carry a sketchbook with me. so while i was in this trial which happened to be a good trial. most trials are incredibly boring. i was sketching and thought, i could do this. i found it exciting and i was looking for the -- the emotional moments in the trial of which this particular one, it was rich. and the lawyer said, tony sarah is drama and the law at its best. wears clunky clothes from the thrift, goes to the podium without notes. he's incredibly hard-hitting and perceptive. he drives old clunker cars. he has long hair. he's just the opposite of everybody's image of a lawyer. and this is the person you wan

george, paulette, betty, alvin, i can't call her name right now, but there are many that are trying our best to make this go forward. we even have young people trying to keep ourselves together. there are so many young people that have been lost by the way of violence and it takes a long time to heal. i just seem to break down from time to time. it's so hard and then to see my other two kids are falling apart, even though my oldest son is 45 years old, he is all around me and i really wish i could do something. i teach my children to pray and leave to the hands of the good lord because they can do more and we can't. and some of those people that have been perpetrators are walking our halls for opportunity to retaliate some more. we're not bothering me. we fight this struggle every day to live day by day. i'm sure you all know about how i feel. it's hard. i have been clammed up into a little two-bedroom house because i couldn't walk. i am just getting to a little larger place. and my boys were living, i wouldn't have to worry about your organization begging for some money to pay last mon

host: paulette is on the line for democrats. caller: i am interested in why this took so long. elected officials were elected by the people. what do the people have to sit on pins and needles to wait on the work by a elected officials? i also want to know why is it that, when the next officials are elected to do things, they do this divisive behavior, not on behalf of the people, but on behalf of their own personal interests? guest: i am not sure i know the answer to that question either. i think that waiting to the very last minute was a big mistake. we made a proposal, the democrats made a proposal in january. we offered to pay for it by reducing tax breaks for big oil companies. the republicans had a proposal that would pay for it by cutting preventive health care that would have gone to women's health clinics and outpatient clinics or people for primary care. so there was a disagreement on how to pay for this. it got into this gamesmanship where it went too far. i agree with that. i think the decision could have been made in january or february. but there seems to be desire
