The wife of former New Jersey Senator and onetime presidential candidate Bill Bradley, she grew up in Nazi Germany. After the war her career as a flight attendant brought her to the U.S., where ultimately, her husband's political aspirations could have made her First Lady. Encouraged by her husband, Ernestine Bradley now tells her story.
