We Choose is an intriguing story that spins itself around several characters at different points in their lives. Some are stumbling toward the responsibilities of adulthood, while others refl ect on the opportunities they left behind in their youth. Warren Carlton, a guidance counselor at a high school in the South Bronx, and Lois Roberts, the school's principal, watch apprehensively as the young people around them come of age in a society that seems more sadistic and where the voice of social justice is more subdued than had been the case in the baby-boomer society of their day. Many years have passed since they made the decisions that set them on their paths in their careers and personal lives. They now fi nd themselves pondering the question that we each must answer for ourselves: Am I happy with the choices that I made? Best friends Mia Maldonado and Lily McGlenn, fourteen-year-old freshmen, and their schoolmate Dayton Dennis, a senior, are all faced with the cruel realities of their circumstances. They must decide for themselves what they want from life and, more importantly, what they will give to it. Two of them emerge from their circumstances armed with lessons learned, while the other remains entrenched within the brutal consequences of defi ance and bad choices. At some point in life the inevitable bottom line question-What do I want out of life?- hits us all squarely in the face. Although a simple question, as this story portrays, the answer is not always easily attained.

In 1973, conventional industry wisdom was that a country music station could not be sucessful in the New York market. WHN ignored that wisdom and announced that it was switching from a middle-of-the-road format to country, billing itself as "Easy Lovin' Country". The actual changeover took place at 5:45 am on February 26th when Jack Spector, calling himself "The Kosher Cowboy From Coney Island," introduced the George Jones classic "The Race Is On". And the rest is history.

Why do we exist, what are we and why does it matter? As creatures of logic and reason it seems unreasonable to say that every thought, desire and event in the entire universe has a direct association with the individual. The reason this seems unfathomable is that we are attempting to understand this from an external or ego centered perspective. If we take a brief look at what is happening inside our own physical bodies, we see millions of chemical activities occurring simultaneously and effortlessly. Within our nervous system, neurons are receiving and relaying thousands of electrical signals to control and coordinate all essential functions of your body. Even if we do not take into account the work of the digestive system, the musculoskeletal system, the respiratory system and other networked systems, it is a wonder in and of itself that you are alive and reading these words. This physical manifestation called you, whether fathomable in its entirety or not is who you are! A negative reaction to the statement that you have created everything in your world; body, mind, personality, dreams and shortcomings exemplifies the fact that you see your conscious mind as a sole power broker. Ironically, whether you believe you have self-created this individual called you or not, you would be right in both cases. You the conscious thinker or ego has not, but the larger 'you' the intuitive mind within has.
