Across the country, in the anti-Detroit that is San Diego, real estate is also slumping. The gloom, however, is far less pervasive. "Yes, it's a troublesome market, but it's not terrible," contends broker Leona Kline...
...Produced by Benjamin M. Poppel ’09 and Christine K.L. Bendorf ’10, “Pterodactyls”—directed by Allison B. Kline ’09—runs through March 18 at the Loeb Ex. The play, written by Nicky Silver, focuses on a wildly dysfunctional family comprised of the borderline psychotic Emma (Lara C.A. Markstein ’10), who remembers nothing about her past due to possibly-justified repression; her HIV-positive, embittered, and somewhat vengeful brother, Todd (Michael R. Wolfe ’09); and their parents...

Kline does an admirable job of keeping the pace snappy enough that there’s barely enough time for the shock of a given moment to register before the action has moved on. At the same time, Kline deftly slows down the action at the end for the more dramatic, but still unflinching, final scenes...
...Kline's plan for dealing with the ongoing emergency in Africa was to create several pediatric centers of excellence for AIDS. (Four have opened--in Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi and Swaziland--and four more are in the planning stages.) Then he set about finding the staff and the money to run them.

Most of the funding for the first class of 52 doctors in his Pediatric AIDS Corps comes from Bristol-Myers...
...Kline expects that the influx of U.S. doctors will be temporary. The plan is to dramatically increase the ability of local health-care staff to treat children with AIDS. To that end, the children's clinics and their doctors, including the Pediatric AIDS Corps, have provided training in the past six months for about 3,600 health-care workers...
