...Brenner, Dave Williams and Catherine Canfield all knew what they wanted--high-profile jobs on Capitol Hill--but they did not know just how to get it. Brenner considered law school; Williams weighed the merits of going for his M.B.A.; and Canfield planned on doing graduate work in political science...
Brenner received his Master's of Public Policy (M.P.P.) in 1982, Williams in 1985. Canfield graduated in 1984 from the one-year mid-career program that Harvard's youngest professional school offers. Their post-Kennedy School path has led them on the much-traveled Cambridge-Washington circuit, where along with growing numbers of K-School alumni, they are forming a new corps of congressional administrators and policymakers...

At the 10,000 stores in six Midwestern states where Natural Seltzer is sold, sales have grown 40% since the pop-for-plants campaign began. One Glenwood, Ill., woman is so enthusiastic about Natural Seltzer that she wrote asking where she could buy the water in 55-gal. drums. The firm is considering a slightly larger-size bottle, but nothing quite that...
