It's always fun to see a former student move up the professional ladder, so I'm happy to congratulate one of mine – Ross Levi – on becoming head of the Empire State Pride Agenda. Ross began working at ESPA as a legislative counsel, then served as Director of Public Policy, and will now be Executive Director. Little known fact: Ross is also the author of The Celluloid Courtroom: A History of Legal Cinema. Unlike the New York state legislature, Ross is smart, sane and a pleasure to know.  Buena suerte!
