Cheers During a visit to Mackey Elementary School, Oscar Goodman, the mayor of Las Vegas, Nev., was asked by a group of fourth graders what his hobbies were. “Drinking” was one he mentioned. And if he were marooned on a desert island, what one thing would he want with him? “A bottle of gin,” he said. After being criticized for what a district superintendant called “absolutely unacceptable” comments, Goodman said he was “the George Washington of mayors. I can’t tell a lie. If they didn’t want the answer the kid shouldn’t have asked the question.” Principal Kamala Washington, who was present for the remarks, says the kids didn’t even seem to notice the comments. “I think it just went over their heads.” (Las Vegas Sun) Available in This is True: Book Collection Vol. 11
