CLASS
OF ’95 Business
Without The Boring 
About
three years ago, Jeremy
Brosowsky C’95 sublet a 10-by-15-foot office in Washington D.C., bought
a telephone, fax, and computer; and said, with no publishing experience
on his resume, “I’m going to start a magazine.” Out rolled the first
issue of Washington Business Forward eight months later. It broke
even on the third issue and has been coming out monthly since its debut.
“I look back on it now and wonder, ’What was I thinking?’” says Brosowsky,
the publisher and CEO of Business Forward Media Inc. Continued...

“Enzyme”
Incarcerated
Four
years after police found Ira Einhorn C’61 living under an
assumed name in a village in southern France, the
former Philadelphia countercultural guru has been brought back
to Pennsylvania to serve a life sentence for killing his girlfriend,
Holly Maddux, in 1977. At presstime Einhorn—who fled the United
States in 1981 and was convicted in absentia in 1993—had not decided
whether to request a new trial, which French authorities had made
a condition of his extradition. He was being held in the Graterford
State Correctional Institution, and, at his own request, was temporarily
segregated from the other prisoners.
While
fighting extradition, Einhorn took the time to pose nude by his
cottage for Esquire magazine. When he lost his final appeal,
he cut his own throat with a serrated knife—and called in a TV
news crew for an interview.
Einhorn,
who used to call himself a “planetary enzyme,” offered police
no explanation when they found Maddux’s
decomposed body in a trunk inside his Powelton Village apartment
18 months after her disappearance, but later claimed he was the
victim of a CIA plot.
