Somehow I missed this episode when it first aired, but it's one of the best! Marian Rivman from the Bronx was sent not to one of the 7000 islands in the Philippines but to an inland spot where she had the test of endurance described by host and producer Chris Wurst until a murder that made the New York Times prompted her father to make a call that led to a transfer. But through it all, she showed a sprit of openness and friendship that led to the rich experiences that got her in quite a few rooms "where it happened." With frankness, warmth and humor she describes how soft power changed her life.
