Clearly the Executive Director position is critical; if it weren't, would PBHA and Phillips Brooks House staff have worked so conscientiously to identify attractive candidate? Notably, the Executive Director will not be alone in setting the scope of PBHA; rightfully, students and the PBHA Board of Trustees will also play key roles. The Executive Director's distinction will be in serving as a trusted guide and leader and in bringing in vast experience from previous community leadership...
Some Forum grads weren't sold. Rabbi Yisroel Persky, 24, who chose to get his money's worth and take "The Forum in Action," today remains "unfazed" by what he calls the Forum's common-sense concepts cloaked in esoteric packaging. For Richard Giordanella, 49, a software executive, the Forum was enough: "I'm still high on the Forum's main message, that my life is in my control.

Even so, black female rockers aren't a common sight on MTV, and they weren't a common sight at last summer's Lilith Fair. However, several new artists are hoping to change all that. Remember to Breathe is a startlingly accomplished debut, full of spirit and smarts. And British singer-guitarist Billie Myers' recently released debut, Growing, Pains (Universal), is steadily climbing the Billboard charts...
