Thanks for your responses to last month's query. John Grisham and Sumner Redstone aside, we honed in on legal activist Sital Kalantry.

Leaving a top-tier law firm (O'Melveny & Myers) to teach at a human rights clinic at Yale Law School, Sital Kalantry took a leap... Relentlessly devoted to the cause, Sital is now starting an international human rights clinic at his alma matter, Cornell.

Form and function intersect perfectly in "From Wood to Architecture: Recent Designs from Finland." Finland's waters may be dark and icy, but the country's been historically green when it comes to environmentally-friendly architecture.

Perhaps the best thing about seeing this $3 exhibit - running through August 25 - is getting to check out its home, the Scandinavia House. The fabulous AQ Café serves up tasty lunches inspired by Swedish cuisine, while the Scandinavia House Shop has the best collection of Scandinavian goods West of Haugesund. Take that, IKEA!

Axiom Attorney Deirdre Sullivan...
After getting a JD from Northwestern University, Deirdre escaped the Windy City and headed straight for the Big Apple. Smaller apartments, better bagels. She spent her first six years in NYC as a corporate associate at Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson. Since joining Axiom, Deirdre has found herself working with all-star clients Blue Man Group, Dow Jones, NHL and themarkets.com. Inexplicably, she still has time for amazing personal accomplishments that warrant a spotlight of their own. Her winning essay was featured in June's Vanity Fair and she was recently selected as an essayist for the August 8th edition of NPR's "This I Believe". And she's accomplished all this within months of getting engaged. If anyone has time to plan her wedding, she's looking for volunteers.
