03.02.2010 Joey Hill ’89 Romances Antioch College
Joey Hill ’89 says laughingly, “Sometimes people look at me blankly when I tell them about my books.” She is the author of four series of erotic romances, both paranormal and contemporary. Her two paranormal series are the Daughters of Arianne and the Vampire Queen series. Her contemporary series are Knights of the Board Room and Nature of Desire. “Most all of my work explores the nature of unconditional love,” she says. “My paranormal work also delves into the shades of gray within good and evil. Being Wiccan, a faith which believes in the sacred magic of sexuality, I also like the fact that the eroticism of my books can be used to heal my characters, as well as bond them even more closely together.” › MORE

02.18.2010 Tim Lachman '64 Focuses on Teaching and Fighting for Single Payer Healthcare
After a long career in private practice, Tim Lachman '64 missed the teaching that he was exposed to and switched over from private practice to a faculty position at Temple University, where he is an assistant professor in Neurology. "It's a very good decision," he said recently. "I'm much more content teaching medical students and residents. It's been a good transition . . . Mostly people go from the academic world into private practice, and this was a reverse move." He's also been involved in the movement for national single-payer healthcare for decades. "I was an odd person in my medical class because I had progressive views," he said, "but I didn't hook up with an organization until the late 80s, Physicians for National Health Program, so I joined and been a constant member and support their goals." He continues, "In Philadelphia we have a community organization that generates actions, educational and demonstrations, to support national single-payer healthcare. So it's kept me pretty busy!" He laughs, "We've been working in the dark for a long time. A lot of publicity has come about for the single payer healthcare in the past few months. It's a good feeling but disappointment that the people are ahead of the politicians." › MORE
