The hus- band of her grandfather's sister led the service. "Basically all that's left is a basement of what was a three-story synagogue," Kaufman said. "They're lucky if they get 10 to 12 people (for services). It's just very old people." Kaufman said her Cuban relatives, like most Cubans, are desperate for food and money. "They would like to get out now, but it's really hard for them." Now, Kauf- man corresponds regularly with her cousin, Dalia, although Dalia rarely gets her letters. "Every time she writes, she wants me to write about some relative. `Tell me about cousin Sonia in Minneapolis. Tell me about cousin Amy in Wash- ington.' She wants to know about our family. That's what really kills me. "The bottom line is my family is in jail over there . . . We're 90 miles from Cuba. 90 miles from my parents' house to that house I was in in Cuba." Kaufman cut her teeth as a reporter with the St. Petersburg Times where she covered professional football and the Tampa Bay Bucca- neers. She was there three years, fighting to solidify her rights to enter hot, smelly, and cramped player locker rooms. So how does a nice Jewish girl end up in men's locker rooms? The answer can be found back at Killian High School in Miami where Kaufman showed talent and flashes of courage as editor of her high school news- paper's opinion page. The position proved a powerful vent for her strong opinions. In her first experience writing about sports, Kauf- man's editorial on Killian's head football coach triggered an investigation, which resulted in his ouster. The football team was 33-3 dur- ing Kaufman's three years at Killian, she said, but the coach showed no interest in helping the players get scholarships. "The coach's primary concern in high school sports is to get these kids to colleges," she said, "but he would just throw the letters (from inquiring col- lege athletic directors) in the garbage can." There are now quite a few female sportswriters, but few have the gumption to cover "the big male sports" (as Kaufman calls baseball, football, basketball and hockey). "They (female reporters) are much more comfortable covering tennis and golf where there is no locker room situation," Kaufman said. "But the only way you get respect in our business is by doing these four major sports." At the University of Miami, Kaufman covered the football team as well as the Miami Dolphins as a special correspondent for the St. Petersburg Times. Upon graduation in 1987, Kauf- man moved into a job cover- ing college football that was waiting for her at the Times. After only a year, Kauf- man was asked to cover the Buccaneers. "I thought to myself, 'I'm not ready to cover the NFL (National Football League). I'm only 23, and one year out of col- lege.' " But her editors challenged her. "They told me, `Covering the NFL is no diff- erent than covering anything else. You have to have eyes and a nose for There are now quite a few female sportswriters, but few have the gumption to cover "the big male sports" baseball, football, basketball and hockey. news, and you have to be a good interviewer. It doesn't matter if you're interview- ing a college or pro player.' " Covering both college and pro football put Kaufman in the uncomfortable posi- tion of being the only woman among up to 200 men, in- cluding players and reporters, in the players' locker rooms. But the locker rooms are where the inter- views are, including the mood and color so important to a reporter. So despite her discomfort, Kaufman press- ed her case. Two years ago, Lisa Olson, a reporter for the Boston Herald, became the center of the controversy on locker room access after she com- plained about a New England Patriots football player who exposed himself to her. "It got the most atten- tion," Kaufman said, "but every woman in the business I know has gone through similar things. You have people corning in the locker room and dancing around O
