Dr. Ruth, Sniper
December 19th, 2006
Dr. Ruth Westheimer (yes, of sex therapy fame) used to be a sniper.
Westheimer herself is no stranger to combat. As a teenager in Palestine, she trained as a sniper with the Jewish underground group Haganah and was wounded during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.
“I can still put five bullets in a tight circle if a journalist writes bad things about me,” she said.
