ongratulations to Rick Nessel, who has been named May's Jewish
News employee of the month. Rick's professionalism and sales skills
have been an important contributor to the company's success since
joining the staff in 1983.
"While he routinely paces the staff in overall sales growth and revenues,
Rick's achievements during the month of May is deserving of special recogni-
tion ," said Sales Director Mark Lewis.
"While Rick is being recognized as May's employee of the month, in my
many years of working with Rick, there probably has never been a month
where he hasn't led by example. His success is very much intertwined with the

Michigan's most admired weekly papers.

office receipts. Yet we're compelled to see
these movies when they first arrive at the
theaters, we honor them with awards and
profits shortly thereafter, and we watch them
again when they're released on video or
shown on television.
"Why? Because we're wise enough to know
that we must never forget. And we're smart
enough to know that we might as well watch
a good movie while we're remembering."

interpretation of the Old Testament is also

enormously clever, 'Genghis
Cohn' never surrenders its
humor even as it promotes its
deadly serious undertones,"
notes Samberg.
