AN ENTREPRENEUR FINDS HIS NICHEI was lunching with my accountant while examining my assets when he suggested that I buy an office instead of renting. I was living and working at the time in a Downtown high-rise apartment and, as he said, “enriching the landlord, not you.” Soon after, I accidentally noticed an ad for a townhouse on the North Shore and sauntered across the Sixth Street Bridge (now Clemente) to an open house and bought it on the spot.

Editor’s note: Over the past 15 years, when Pittsburghers including Dan Onorato and John Fetterman have run for statewide or national office, Pittsburgh Quarterly has given them the opportunity to share their views. In this issue, U.S. Senate candidate and Pittsburgher David McCormick writes about why he’s running. I’ve always been proud to call Pittsburgh home. I was born in Washington County, just south of the city.

Having moved across the state from Pittsburgh in 1986, I now wonder what prompts me to read each edition of the Pittsburgh Quarterly from cover to cover. Sure, I subscribe to other magazines. The New Yorker is often hit or miss. My location notwithstanding, I can’t relate to “The Main Line Times.” Reading “Philadelphia Magazine’ is akin to my attending a glitzy cocktail party that I was not invited to. So what is my attraction to Pittsburgh Quarterly?

So many people waiting. In Monroeville, paramedic Dave Sherman was waiting to respond to another emergency call. In Indiana Township, Lucas Goeller was waiting for a life-saving liver transplant. In Mt. Lebanon, Emily Eagleton and Laura Handy were waiting to become parents. In East Deer Township, dozens of motorists were waiting in a construction zone. At times, we are all waiting for something.

By Mark Schwartz, Enterprise Strategist, Amazon Web ServicesBoards faced with the responsibility of overseeing a company’s use of AI are in a difficult position. The technology’s implications are unclear: are today’s generative AI models a powerful way to accomplish specific business goals, or are they a near-final step on the path to artificial general intelligence—AI that can mimic human intelligence?

Home › Article › Judge Jeffrey Manning Broke the Mold We lawyers who go to court participate in what amounts to a contact sport, choosing sides in an all-out adversary process. Too bad if the other side loses. Winner takes all. Justice done. Over and out. Judge Jeffrey Manning passed away this month. Back in the mid-1970s only 3 or 4 years out of law school, he typified the tough-guy, hard driving gunslinger.
