Agnes Nixon to young women entering industry: Be proud of yourselves and don’t sell yourselves short
When she was a student at Northwestern University, Nixon was the only writer among her classmates and friends of actors and actresses. The very person who inspired her to take a different path was another frontman of electronic media, who was also honored with the “Giant of Media” title.
“One night I heard Norman Cowen broadcasting ‘On a Note of Triumph.’ I knew I made the right choice,” Nixon recalled.

The series will have seven 10 minutes episodes beginning in November (premiere episode TBA).
This means a lot for gays men in sports. As you know, the climate in professional American sports is so inhospitable that no athlete in the major leagues -- NFL, MLB, NBA -- has ever come out while still playing. Sports is far behind most of society in this respect.
