A Hipster Friendly Doctor, Metrocard Ethics and an Unemployment Decrease

Many of the internships are wrapping up, but the clips just keep coming. Here’s a sampling of the latest:

  • I can guarantee that not one word of Henry Stewart’s review of “Henry Poole is Here” will be used as a blurb in any future advertisements. Check out his very entertaining piece in the L Magazine. He also said a lot in very few words in this blog item – sounds like a full-blown story waiting to happen.
  • Linnea Covington, writing for New York Press, offers a short, but image- and information-packed review for the enticingly titled play, “Anaïs Nin Goes to Hell.”
  • Jessica Firger found a hipster friendly doctor in Williamsburg who offers E-mail, video and IM consultations – but will occasionally make an old-fashioned house call. You’ll find her story in The Brooklyn Paper.
  • Shuka Kalantari hosted the latest edition of KPFA Radio’s “Voices of the Middle East and North Africa,” and contributed a segment about the late Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish. She also started a companion blog for the show.
  • Dan Macht put together a piece about McCain’s and Obama’s reactions to the Russia-Georgia conflict for the Telegraph.co.uk
  • Francesca Levy wrote about the world of for-profit universities owned by publicly held corporations for BusinessWeek. Check out her video interview with the new dean of the Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland
  • Barry Paddock contributed to today’s Daily News front page story about heroism amid tragedy in Queens.
  • Damian Ghigliotty reports for Crain’s New York Business that unemployment in the city is down – even as unemployment claims are up.
  • Meanwhile, in a glimmer of sunny economic news, the hotel business on Long Island is doing well, Danny Teigman found for Newsday.
  • Mathew Warren contributed to this New York Times talker about MetroCard ethics (which may be an oxymoron these days.)

Congrats to all – and keep ‘em coming. (But make sure to enjoy what’s of summer, too).
