SHORT TAKES : Top Cop Carries Badge, Baby

Would you believe a pregnant police chief?

The producers of the revived version of the classic TV game show “To Tell the Truth” are talking with Houston Police Chief Elizabeth Watson about appearing on their show when it hits the air this fall. “She got so much publicity when she got the job,” a spokesman for Mark Goodson Productions said, “and she is really a neat lady so she just seemed like a natural.”

The Goodson spokesman wouldn’t say so specifically but apparently the producers would like Watson to appear on the show before she delivers her baby. “Can’t you just see the panelists’ faces when the pregnant woman stands up?” he said.
