First, while I had the desire to become a producer, I had to learn how to go about it. Fortunately, I was....READ MORE Judith S. Kaye: Former Chief Judge of the State of New York
Maybe it’s what has driven me throughout my life: attaining the unattainable, not being negative, fierce determination to use my time and talents meaningfully.
What else would explain coming from rural Sullivan County, age 15, to Barnard College in the wilds of New York City, convinced that in the shadow....READ MORE  Jeanne Shaheen: U.S. Senator, NH
I was inspired to pursue a career in public service because I had a desire to make a difference. Growing up in the 1960’s, during the heart of the civil rights movement, I saw firsthand the opportunity to effect meaningful change. One of my first jobs was as a teacher at a newly integrated school in Mississippi, and I saw....READ MORE
 Dr. Judith Hochman: Author, Educator, Lecturer
My son had learning disabilities and, at the time, no one knew how to effectively remediate or even diagnose them.

Tragic Shooting in Connecticut
By Harold Koplewicz, MD
Weeks after the tragic shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School, we still have no idea what might motivate a young man to open fire on first graders and the teachers trying desperately to save their students.
