		Her three children include this generation's officeholder, Barbara Boggs Sigmund, who at the time of her tragic early death in 1990 was Mayor of Princeton, N.J. The other two are Cokie Roberts, a National Public Radio and ABC-TV correspondent, and Thomas Hale Boggs Jr., a prominent Washington lawyer and lobbyist.
