...Darin (born Walden Robert Cassotto in 1936) had cut a few sides for Atco, the Atlantic subsidiary, with little impact. Herb Abramson, head of Atco, wanted to drop him, but Ertegun overruled the decision. Ahmet and ace engineer Tom Dowd supervised the kid?s next session, using their new Ampex eight-track recording system; out of this came two 1958 hits, "Splish Splash" and "Queen of the Hop." The first song, which Darin had written in 12 minutes, begins with water-bubble sounds, cueing its novelty nature; but it had drive and its narrator?s tough-guy befuddlement at finding...
...interview with TIME last week, Savage recalled her meeting with Brock in the lobby of the Marriott Hotel in downtown Washington in 1994. A book titled Strange Justice, by reporters Jane Mayer and Jill Abramson, had just come out--and it used on-the-record interviews to argue persuasively that Thomas had indeed subjected a number of women to frequent sexually explicit remarks about porno videos.

In 1989 she left Hager, Sharp & Abramson, which was among the first female-owned advertising and p.r. firms in the capital, to start Abramson Communications. The scarcity of women-owned companies like hers inspired her in 1997 to found the $30 million Women's Growth Capital Fund, the largest venture-capital fund in the eastern U.S. and one of the few to focus...
...odds. Harvard's tenure process is notoriously unfriendly to its junior faculty and few women, parents or inspiring teachers receive tenure. Seltzer was tenured from within the University, not hired after making her significant contributions at another university. She is an excellent teacher--she won the Roslyn Abramson award and the Phi Beta Kappa award for excellence in teaching. And her near-perfect 4.9 score in the CUE Guide for her course entitled Computer Science 161: Operating Systems shows her commitment to undergraduates. Finally, Seltzer is a mother and currently on maternity-leave...
