easily with her. "It took time
to gain the confidence of the
senior military brass," recalls
Selinger. "But now I'm one of
the boys. I have been especial-
ly successful in getting them
to relate to me as a person
and not as a woman. No one
pats me on the behind."
But after working so hard
to become one of the boys,
Selinger began to realize that
her relationship with her four-
and-a-half year old daughter
was suffering and decided to
"stop apologizing for being a
woman."
"I would feel pressure if an
appointment was scheduled
with a high-ranking officer at
the same time my daughter
needed me to take her to kin-
dergarten or to attend a per-
formance," she says. "Now I
just say no to the appoint-
ment. It will have to be
rescheduled. You have to
know how to set priorities."
There is no such thing as a
typical day in the life of a
defense correspondent, says
Selinger. There are press brief-
ings, phone calls to military
sources, terrorist attacks and
incidents in the South Leban-
on Security Zone to cover.
Occasionally, she will take
time out to accompany the
Chief of the General Staff Lt:
Gen. Dan Shomron on a tour
of a military installation to
"get the picture through his
eyes." (Selinger finds Shorn-
ron to be "accessible," a man
who quickly understands the
essence of an issue. "You can
be in touch with him," she
says, adding quickly, "I don't
mean in a physical way.")
She concedes that she does
not spend enough time in the
field — observing military
maneuvers, covering the sec-
urity zone or visiting a r
bases around the countr7.
But the Lebanon War had an
effect on her and other.
military correspondents, she
says. "After Lebanon we all
got tired. I got a bit older."
In her first month at her
new job, Selinger covered the
worst tragedy in the Israel
Defense Force's history. An
explosion caused by a gas
leak at the Israeli military
headquarters in Tyre — some
10 kilometers north of the
Israeli border town of Rosh
Hanikra — Killed 75 Israelis
and 14 Arab detainees.
Just one year later, 28
border police and soldiers
and 32 Lebanese detainees
were killed at the relocated
military outpost, just south
of Tyre, when an explosives-
laden pickup truck drove in-
to the camp and blew up.
Her most vivid memory,
though, is of a prisoner ex-
change when 1150 top-secur-
ity terrorists were released
from Israeli prisons in ex-
change for two Israelis who
