It’s great to be a student again—the preparation for class, the butterflies if you get asked a question, the intellectual exchange of ideas—but, wait, I am the teacher! And I am not teaching one of my comfortable legal writing courses; I am teaching professional responsibility. Although being a student again and teaching a “casebook” course are two perspectives of legal education different from mine as a legal writing professor, I learned much about teaching legal writing from both. To teach professional responsibility for the first provide quality care to patients, law professors time, I had to become a student again—relearning should become students occasionally to remind old rules and studying new ones.

  • FILM BLURBS Compiled
    Original Film Blurbs — Richard Isaac — [email protected] ANTARCTICA SLGFF 2008 In two days, Omer will hit a milestone: his 30th birthday. Shy and studious, he’s still looking for that elusive spark (but without the passionate hookups everyone else is having). On one of his blind dates, he meets Danny, an enthusiastic 20-year-old aspiring dancer. Danny lives with his ex-boyfriend Ronen, a handsome journalist who befriends Omer at the library where he works. Ronen is also dating Omer’s best friend Mickey, who thinks he might be “the one.” Might Danny or Ronen be able to ignite the flame that will melt Omer's frozen heart? Shirley, Omer's little sister, wonders if her lesbian relationship with her boss Michal means settling down and giving up her long-held dream of traveling to Antarctica. A momentous birthday meal given by the siblings’ “Jewish mother from hell” (drag artist Yoam Huberman) brings matters to a head. With a collar-grabbing montage of male nudity and a subplot about alien abductions, ANTARCTICA pushes the bounds of Israeli cinema. It also brims with border-crossing truths about lust, jealousy, disappointment, and taking a chance on real intimacy, capturing the ecstatic lightheadedness of making a connection that could be the real deal, and the quiet sadness when a potential good thing slips through one’s fingers. It turns out, though, that writer-director Yair Hochner is more of a romantic than a provocateur. The overriding impression one gets from his ensemble film about oversexed, underloved young gay Israeli men (and one lesbian couple) living in Tel Aviv isn’t rebelliousness or outrage or even activism, but a pervasive wistfulness.

Whether we speak about the flourishing of architecture and the decorative arts here in the second half of the eighteenth century, the emergence of the city in the early nineteenth century as one of the great centers for the education of artists, or the achievement of towering figures such as Charles Willson Peale, Thomas Eakins, or Frank Furness, no one can dispute the fact that Philadelphia has always held an important place in the development of American art. Philadelphia’s many cultural institutions have played a significant role in this story, providing a record of its remarkable artistic achievements and enriching the lives of its citizens. Of these, none is perhaps as emblematic of the city’s remarkable artistic heritage and civic aspirations as the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Indeed, institutions like this are intended to reflect and celebrate the creative spirit and values of the communities they serve. In this regard, we can say—and do so with confidence—that there are few cities as committed to the arts as Philadelphia. The arts matter here. This is not simply a matter of civic pride; it is also, more fundamentally, about civic identity, about how Philadelphia defines itself and wants to be seen in the world.

Young The financial vise is tightening on Barneys New York, with some factors no longer approving spring orders as a result of uncertainties over the luxury chain’s future. Barneys’ costly expansion of the past three years has failed to gain traction; the retailer has been without a chief executive officer since last July, and the severe downturn in retailing, particularly the luxury sector, has hit the retailer and its cash flow hard. Its owner, Dubai-based Istithmar, has been quietly trying to sell the chain at a price no one wants to pay as the Middle Eastern emirate faces its own economic meltdown. All those factors are making certain vendors and suppliers skittish over Barneys and less inclined to take risk, though the luxury chain See Financial, Page4 PHOTO BY ROBERT MITRA ROBERT PHOTO BY 2 WWD, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2009 WWD.COM Penney’s Forecasts Loss, Sales Drop By Vicki M.
