…if I really reflect on how I, a Latina from Las Vegas, was able to become a scientist at an elite university, it wasn’t my own curiosity. It was the influence of a blackjack dealer who also happens to be my mother.

Radio DJ – Alright now, for all you boppers out there in the big city. All you street people with an ear for the action, I’ve been asked to relay a request from the Gramercy Riffs. It’s a special for The Warriors. That’s that real live bunch from Coney, and I do mean The Warriors. Here’s a hit with them in mind.
Radio DJ – Be looking good Warriors, all the way back to Coney. You hear me babies? Good. Real good. Adios.
Warriors, come out to play!

The comedy he’s best known for was stridently political in a way so intimate and tinged with everyday vulnerabilities that from the vantage point of history it’s possible not to even notice.
