Sonia Sotomayor - eine außergewöhnliche Richterin

Sonia Sotomayor (englisch), (deutsch)

"Sotomayor’s father died when she was 9, and she thinks to herself, with the sharp pragmatism of a child that age, “Maybe it would be easier this way.” But Sotomayor’s mother did not rise with relief from her loss; she shut herself in her dark bedroom for a long season of grief. So Sotomayor became a library rat, though without any guidance." (NYT)
