1.05: Release Esther finds out that the woman is an entrepreneur with dressmaking software, agrees that the newsletter probably wouldn't meet the needs of this niche-marketer, then recommends that she talk to someone at The New York Times who is in the process of writing an article on women in computing. Esther comments that if EDventures were publicly held, it would be irresponsible to her stockholders to have someone like Daphne on payroll who, as part of her professional responsibilities, has the role of chief groundskeeper in the landscape of Esther's private life. Esther feels she learned how to handle money vis a vis her family from Ziff, useful because Esther is by far the wealthiest member of her family (she purchased a house for her sister in California and regularly hands out her scads of frequent flyer awards to her family members). www.wired.com /wired/archive/1.05/dyson_pr.html   (5997 words)

Exhibition to feature photographs by Esther Bubley :: News :: University of Louisville -- dare to be great Esther Bubley had been a professional photographer for only a few short years when she took their photos in 1947, but already she was well-seasoned in her craft. “Esther is famous for being a ‘people’ photographer, primarily because of her beautiful pictures of children and their actions, as well as the interactions of adults of all ages and sizes,” Forbes said.
