SELIG-PRIEB INTERVIEWED IN TODAY'S JOURNAL SENTINEL

          Brewers VP & General Counsel Wendy Selig-Prieb,
     daughter of Acting Commissioner/Brewers Owner Bud Selig, is
     interviewed by Kevin Paige in today's MILWAUKEE JOURNAL
     SENTINEL.  Selig-Prieb, on being a woman in the male
     dominated world of MLB: "I am very aware that within the
     private sector as well as the public sector, everybody
     grapples with 'glass ceiling' issues.  I think baseball has
     done particularly well when you look at not only me, but
     there are other women in the industry who have risen to
     positions of responsibility."  Selig-Prieb, on her father:
     "[B]eing Bud Selig's daughter shouldn't work to my
     advantage, and it also shouldn't work to my disadvantage." 
     On criticism toward her father: "[W]hen you serve in the
     position that my father does as the leader of the industry,
     to some extent you are a lightning rod.  It doesn't mean at
     times I didn't feel it was unfair or unwarranted, because I
     did. ... I believe that people do now really appreciate what
     he's done for the industry (JOURNAL SENTINEL, 8/13).
