8659	Victor Young was born on August 8, 1900 in Chicago, Illinois to a musical family. His father was a tenor with the Chicago Opera and by the age of 6 Victor was beginning to play the violin. After the death of his mother in 1908, Victor and his sister Helen were sent to Warsaw Poland to live with his grandparents. His grandfather was able to send him to the Warsaw Conservatory of Music and being a willing pupil he graduated and made his debut as a concert violinist with the Warsaw Philharmonic. Still a teenager, he went on a successful tour of Europe and the United States, enhancing his career as a concert violinist even further. He returned to Chicago in the 1920's and accepted a position as a musical director for the Balana and Katz chain of movie theaters. This required him to arrange music for the most important presentations. As a result of this Victor discovered his talent for composing, arranging, and orchestrating popular music. Within a few years he had moved to Los Angeles, signed a contract with Brunswick Records as a conductor, and had become the best-known music director for radio and records. In 1935 he accepted a position from Paramount Pictures as a musical director, composer, and arranger. For the next 20 years Hollywood was to become his home and film music his main profession. He scored over 300 films during the next two decades, compiling 22 Oscar nominations along the way Victor had the ability to be able to produce wonderful melodies for films no matter what the subject matter. While films like "Love Letters" and "My Foolish Heart" are long forgotten, the theme songs are still performed today by a variety of pop and jazz artists. He may have been the best melody writer that Hollywood has ever had. In his later years he revealed that he had found inspiration and kinship from Rachmaninov, who had also settled in Los Angeles about the time that Young did. Films such as "For Whom the Bells Toll", "The Quiet Man", "The Blue Dahlia", and "Samson and Delilah" showed his versatility for all types of productions, from film noir to biblical. When once asked why he became a film composer he shook his head. "Why, indeed? Why would any trained musician let himself in for a career that calls for the exactitude of an Einstein, the diplomacy of Churchill, and the patience of a martyr? And yet I can think of no other musical medium that offers as much challenge, excitement and demand for creativity in putting music to work." This perhaps was the reason why he worked so hard and continuously for the twenty years he was involved with Hollywood. The frantic pace, poor diet, cigar smoking, and ignoring the advice of his doctor took its toll in 1956 and he passed away from a stroke on November 11, 1956 in Los Angeles. Even in failing health in his last year he did scores for "The Brave One", The Buster Keaton Story", "Omar Khyyam", and "Run Of The Arrow", all released after his death. His last score "China Gates" was completed by his long time friend Max Steiner. Sadly, his only Oscar came after his death in the spring of 1957 for "Around the World in 80 Days", perhaps his finest achievement. His passing symbolized the end of an era in Hollywood. Within a short time the music departments at 20th Century Fox (Alfred Newman), Warner Bros. (Max Steiner) and Paramount (Young), were dismantled, and with them went the romantic films scores that all were famous for. Even with the revival and re-recordings of golden-age film music, Young's film music has been basically forgotten. Perhaps the new recordings of "Scaramouche" and "The Univited" are hints that other scores are in the works for release. One can only hope that such a prolific composer can be enjoyed by future generations.	Young, Victor Albert (I766)

8675	Virginia Kim, by Virginia Kim Virginia Kim is a business trial lawyer with Valorem Law Group, a Chicago litigation firm. It seems like happy days are here for law firm associates: salaries have ballooned to an astronomical $160,000 per annum for first year associates, with the promise of more to come thanks to the practice of lock-stepped salaries. So what if the work is often mind-numbing? So what if my peers are developing carpal tunnel syndrome because their work consists solely of document review? Surely it doesn’t matter that these large firms are failing to train their young associates, just so long as they pay them absurdly well, right? I count myself among the fortunate few who actually gained substantive experience in “Big Law.” After graduating from the University of Chicago Law School in 2004, I joined Sidley Austin and was immediately thrust into asbestos and pharmaceutical litigation. But while my substantive skills grew, I longed for a more collaborative, more intimate setting. But I was not sure I could find excellent work in an excellent environment. In Valorem, I’ve found the best of both worlds. I’m keenly aware that I’ve stepped off traditional trajectory of law firm life, but I didn’t enter this profession to shuffle paper: I’m here because I want to practice law. At Valorem, I’ve found a group of people who recognize that over-paying young attorneys to perform rote tasks represents not only poor value for the client, but also poor training for the attorney. This firm represents a hope for the future of the American legal profession, which would otherwise face a future of under-trained, expensive attorneys as well as overcharged, underserved clients.
