PA in the WSJ

This is a list of articles regarding Pennsylvania in this week's Wall Street Journal. Chances are I missed something, but these are the articles that caught my eye.

It should be noted that I routinely do not read the editorials in the WSJ. So any discussions of the state, its elected officials, businesses, or citizens, in editorials will not be mentioned here.


Either it was an exceptionally slow week for the commonwealth in the WSJ this week or I was exceptionally sloppy in looking. Very little to report.

PA Politicians

He’s not currently in politics but once (and future?) Philadelphia District Attorney candidate and, until recently, the city’s inspector general, gets a brief mention (and a woodcut of the man himself smiling) on 1/11. [Update, I forgot to mention his name, Seth Williams.] It notes his joining law firm Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young. That makes two people now that I have actually spoken to (in this case very briefly at an event a year or two ago) who have appeared in the WSJ as woodcuts.


PA Businesses

Sue Meier at Allegheny County’s Landmark Home Healthcare is quoted in “Finding day care – for your parents,” by Jeff D. Opdyke (1/10)

Brief mention of Exton’s Isolagen, Inc. on 1/11


Other PA

Heather Shenk an audiologist in Lancaster is quoted in “Clearing wax buildup with a candle in the ear,” by Laura Johannes (1/08)

Other Interesting Tidbits

In “Clinton’s primary win resonates with women,” by Carol Hymowitz, Katherine Rosman and Amy Merrick (1/10) we find this paragraph:

In New Hampshire, Mrs. Clinton scored best with women who had lower incomes and less education as opposed to highly-paid, educated women. Half of women who earn between $15,000 and $30,000 voted for her, compared to 39% for Mr. Obama. Just 31% of women with post-graduate degress voted for Mrs. Clinton, however, compared to 43% for Mr. Obama. Mrs. Clinton also did well with women who are single, separated, divorced or widowed, carrying single women by 17 points in New Hampshire while Sen. Obama carried them in Iowa by 13 points.
