Other Pennsylania Notables

The Wall Street Journal reports that the new head of the Dept. of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration is Pennsylvania native Joseph A. Main ("New Course in Labor Appointees," by Melanie Trottman 7/20)

On the other side of the occupational universe I ran across something interesting this week. Science fiction / sword and sorcery fans might be familiar with Boris Vallejo whose artwork has been featured on many a paperback cover. He and his wife Julie Bell, also an artist, live near Allentown. They publish a calendar every year so if you see a calendar full of muscular warriors and buxom women wearing skimpy chain mail, it could originate right here in the commonwealth.
