Jaffe

LILLIAN HONICK JAFFE was born on November 20, 1919 in Baltimore, MD. She graduated from Goucher College with a B.A. in sociology and began a career as a social worker. In 1942 she married Sidney Jaffe and moved to Butler, Pennsylvania. While raising three children, she was very active in the community. Mrs. Jaffe was a member of the PTA at Bon Air School and the sisterhood of Congregation of B'nai Abraham. She served as president of the local chapter of the National Council of Jewish Women and enjoyed working with the American Field Service chapter at Butler High School.

Among the select few physicians honored with the prestigious Patients' Choice Award this year is Dr. David Jaffe, of Havre de Grace. Of the nation's 870,000 active physicians and dentists, just five percent consistently received top scores from their patients on sites like Vitals (http://www.vitals.com), qualifying them for this honor in 2012. Millions of patients go online each year to rate their doctors on various components of care, including accuracy of their diagnosis, the amount of time they spent with the doctor, and the doctor's bedside manner and follow-up care.

Rona Jaffe admits that she writes "totally light fun books" -- but she also claims that they have some "seriousness" to them."I like sociological things, writing about changes we're going through in life and relationships. I write a book when I want to know why," says the 58-year-old author, whose latest book, "An American Love Story," has just been released by Dell Paperbacks.To say Ms. Jaffe's questions have wide interest would be an understatement. Worldwide, there are 23 million copies of her 12 books in print.

My name is Ralph Jaffe. I am a political science teacher. When I first started teaching in 1964 I told my students that Maryland was one of the most corrupt states in the Union. Fast forward to 2010 - nothing has changed. This is why I am now a candidate for governor in the September 2010 Democratic primary. I want to put a stop to the moral bankruptcy in Maryland politics and replace it with a new word, ETHICS. My platform is based on 5 principles. #1 - I will not accept campaign contributions because they are disguised bribes.

Rona Jaffe, 74, whose 1958 novel The Best of Everything told the melodramatic story of four young career girls torn between storybook romance and cutthroat corporate Manhattan, died of cancer Friday at University College Hospital in London, where she was on vacation. Movie producer Jerry Wald essentially commissioned Miss Jaffe, at the time a 25-year-old former associate editor in publishing, to write a book that he could turn into a blockbuster feature film. Less than a year after the book appeared, The Best of Everything was released as a chic but heavy-handed film by 20th Century Fox. Hope Lange, Diane Baker, Martha Hyer and the 1950s model Suzy Parker starred as the young women about town.

Sue Grafton knows how to start a novel with a bang. Consider the opening sentence of her 10th mystery, " 'J' is for Judgment": "On the face of it, you wouldn't think there was any connection between the murder of a dead man and the events that changed my perceptions about my life."The murder of a dead man? What could that possibly mean? Obviously, this is not going to be your run-of-the-mill detective story.In 1991's " 'H' is for Homicide," private eye Kinsey Millhone was fired from California Fidelity, the insurance company she worked for part time in exchange for office space.

FLORENCE, Italy -- It was one of the most dumbfounding mysteries of the AIDS epidemic -- the case of the dentist who infected his patients. And a major study was launched to solve it.This week, the disease detective who heads up that investigation delivered his findings.Standing before an audience of more than 500 people at the Seventh International Conference on AIDS, Harold Jaffe, one of the most respected epidemiologists at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, had to admit defeat. He simply could not explain how the dentist had infected five patients with acquired immune-deficiency syndrome.

Ralph Jaffe wants to dethrone Gov. Martin O'Malley. And before a news conference outside O'Malley's downtown Baltimore office last month, Jaffe also wanted to use the gubernatorial throne. Security at the William Donald Schaefer state office building turned him away, suggesting that he use the bathroom at a nearby McDonald's instead. Jaffe, a 67-year-old retired teacher from Pikesville who is challenging O'Malley in the Democratic primary, filed a federal civil rights lawsuit over the matter this week.

A new Severna Park-based theater troupe is making an impressive debut with a high-caliber production of an over-the-top and overlooked musical. Standing O Productions' founder, Ron Giddings III, took on a challenge with the 1978 show On the Twentieth Century, which ran on Broadway for a year and won five Tony awards, including best score and best book. But it has never had a revival, nor has it become a popular vehicle among community theater groups. The reason may well be that this is a difficult show to produce that boasted a replica of New York's iconic luxury train and featured singers who could handle the show's physical and vocal demands.

Dave Jaffe won my friends' annual guys-only vacation competition this year. The five of us each pitch a destination, cajoling, using brochures -- and rarely common sense -- to persuade the others to vote our way. Frankly, the rest of us would have preferred to sail in the Virgin Islands, feet up, sipping Sam Adams and cracking open lobsters. But Jaffe was persuasive. And, how bad could it be, we figured, hiking for three days in the beautiful Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico? And with a string of llamas carrying our loads, no less.

Ben Jaffe pursed his lips and whistled - a short, melodious bird call of a sound. As he did, he was reminded of how much he has lost. "There are certain things that, if you aren't from New Orleans, you have no idea what they mean," says Jaffe, artistic director of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, which performs this weekend with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. "That particular whistle means, `Listen up - the song is about to start.' It doesn't mean anything to you.

Jos. A. Bank Clothiers Inc. officials expressed caution yesterday about the retailer's outlook for the rest of the year even as it announced earnings that beat analysts' expectations. The Hampstead-based men's apparel chain reported net income of $7 million, or 38 cents a share, for the second quarter that ended July 30. That was an increase from $5.3 million, or 30 cents a share, a year ago. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial had expected a 35-cent profit on sales of $116 million.

Real life doesn't always live up to our expectations. It might be the "dream job" that comes with unforeseen nightmares, or the fabulous vacation spot that leaves some visitors surprisingly nonplussed, or the big lifetime celebration -- like a wedding -- that is remembered more for big bills or family fights than for the love and joy of the moment. Starting this week, Charles Jaffe's column will move to Tuesday's Your Money page inside the daily Business section.
