Congrats to the new director of YANK! :) He is one of 23 outstanding indiviuduals in the arts and sciences who will recieve $100,000 a year for five years - with no strings attached.

Another winner, David Cromer, 45, is a theater director and actor recognized for his work Off-Broadway and for revivals of classics, including a long-running revival of OUR TOWN at the Barrow Street Theater in New York. Mr. Cromer, also a New Yorker, said the grant would allow him to take artistic risks.

“It robs me of my greatest excuse for everything — I’m broke,” Mr. Cromer said of his award.

Good for him!

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali
