To celebrate the beginning of our 20th year, we’ve set out to catalogue the contributions that Pittsburgh and western Pennsylvania have made to the world. The list has grown and grown, and despite our best efforts, we know we’ll leave out key contributors. I think you’ll find that this small city at the confluence of three rivers has played an astonishingly outsized role in the creation of this country and the world we inhabit.

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.

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?

No country has been more critical of the war in Gaza than Ireland. Irish political figures have condemned it in the Dail Eireann (Parliament) as well as in the International Court of Justice. Why? The obvious answer is that the Irish see in the plight of the Palestinians a reminder of their own history. The Irish were oppressed by the British for eight hundred years before the creation of the Irish Free State and later the Irish Republic in 1919.

After meeting his doctor for his annual checkup, a 70-year-old patient told the doctor, “Checkups or no checkups, we all have to die one day. It’s just a question of when.” The doctor shook his patient’s hand and said, “Not when, but how.” That brief exchange reveals not only two different attitudes toward life but two different views of death as well. On the one hand there is the patient’s view of life as a time with a statute of limitations. His concern is with longevity.

Sympathy was once such an honorable impulse. Humble, sincere, caring. Sympathy was meant for people who suffered or had less. But now it’s disdained as a facile “poor you” of a sentiment, the equivalent of pity. Sympathy is to be avoided. Instead, we are to upgrade to its superior, empathy.
