She also claims, "I opened the door to the storage shed, and there were 1000 spiders in there. I could only see a few, but I could hear them scur rying away!"

She considers the work of Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt, a leader in environmental issues, to be "quite signifi cant."

She has strength and virtue lacking in most of our leaders." She is also a fan of the California women senators. "I respect them for shaking things up," she says. "I remember my favorite T shirt when I was ten or eleven years old," Delaney recollects. "It says, 'A women's place is in the house—and the Senate."
