When Doc McGhee, the former manager of rock bands Motley Crue and Bon Jovi, was convicted of marijuana smuggling in North Carolina, he faced a tough judge and an aggressive prosecutor. He pleaded guilty and threw himself on the mercy of the court. Consultant Hoelter, whose nonprofit firm handles about 750 cases a year as well as sentence reductions in capital crimes, came up with the idea that McGhee should stage rock concerts to raise money for drug-treatment programs. Thus was the Make a Difference Foundation born. It has since put on major concerts in Moscow...

Explains Samuel Hayes, a Harvard Business School professor: "The Carlyle Group has gone after former government officials whom top businessmen love to be seen with. Finding potential...
Baltimore is no one's idea of an artistic Mecca -- maybe the last top-tier cultural icon to emerge there was Babe Ruth -- but for 30 seasons it has fostered a nonprofit theater of increasingly venturesome repertoire. Housed in a converted college building amid the rundown brick facades of downtown, Center Stage has debuted Eric Overmyer's On the Verge or The Geography of Yearning, a sprightly fantasy about three Victorian women explorers that became one of the most widely produced plays of the '80s; David Feldshuh's Miss Evers' Boys, a drama about government experiments on black victims...
