 Racetracks and Movie Theaters:
Where to Find a Career in Public Radio
Mary Darcy ('88)
There’s a movie called “Hero” in which Geena Davis
plays a high profile television news reporter. In one scene, a
man is about to leap to his death from the edge of a skyscraper and
Davis and her cameraman are trying to talk him down. They just
about have him convinced when he suddenly turns and jumps, plunging
50 stories to his death. “Did you get that?” Davis yells to
the cameraman. Then she hears herself. “I can’t believe I said
that,” she breathes, and shakes her head in disbelief.
It’s a film moment I’ll never forget.

which I hear is ABBA-riffic—this moment gives me a feeling of
accomplishment, even seven-plus years after moving to New York.

Katie Couric), and head upstairs to shower, all of which could be
the typical morning activities for millions of working Americans.
But this is where my day departs from what would be considered
“typical” as I am one of the growing population of professional
women who own their businesses and who work from home. And,
what a long, strange trip it has been.

How
Does Your Garden Grow?
Kelly Hall ('03)

street to begin my day in the publishing world for Martha
