D2 THE BOSTON GLOBE FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1997 NAMES -fcf FACES BY SUSAN BICKELHAUPT AND MAUREEN DEZELL pall him the Hub's Irish ambassador With peace talks in Northern Ireland proceeding, Boston entrepreneur and philanthropist John Cullinane has invited a group of Belfast political leaders to dinner next week. Lord Mayor Alban Maginness, the first Catholic lord rtiayor of Belfast, former Belfast lord mayor Reginald Empey, and a group of Northern Irish Catholic and Protestant economic development boosters will be Cullinane's guests at Thursday's American Ireland Fund dinner at the Marriott Copley Place, one of the largest gatherings of Irish and Irish-American bigwigs in the United States. Cullinane, an investor and key backer of economic exchange between the SA and both Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic, has arranged meetings for the multiparty delegation with Mayor Tom Menino and the Irish American Partnership, and for a Thursday date at the Algonquin Club, at which Maginness will tell the "story of the new Belfast" i Reiner speaks for children Rob Reiner, best known for his hit films "Stand Me," "When Harry Met Sally and "A Few Good Men," was at Harvard Wednesday to talk about early childhood development. Reiner, a founder of the I Am Your Child campaign to promote community involvement in young children's lives, told a group of about 250 listeners at the Harvard Graduate School of Education that investing in a child's early years pays off later. Reiner said he became interested in early childhood health after discovering through psychotherapy the importance of his own first three years.

Cutting out of Lenox and into the Westin After 15 years of cutting hair in the basement of the Lenox Hotel, Pat Corcoran has moved her Men's Barber Style Shop to the lobby of the Westin Hotel. A self-described "pioneer lady barber not a hairdresser," who has run her own shop for more than 20 years, Corcor-an's heavyweight client list includes Channel 4 reporter John Henning, Rabbi Harold Kushner, mystery writer Jeremiah Healy, comedian Dick Flavin, and other "nice gentlemen who get a haircut every month," she said. What made her decide to make the move? "It was time for a change," she said. Also, she was cutting the hair of Westin Hotel area managing director David King, and he suggested it if I'r'- is GLOBE STAFF PHOTO FRANK O'BRIEN DIRECTORS' HUDDLE Film directors Sam Weisman (left) and Peter Bogdanovich talked entertainment with a group ofBrandeis students yesterday. Weisman, a Brandeis alum, is directing a production of "Arcadia" and teaching at the Waltham school this fall.

Local director opens film fest The Boston Jewish Film Festival kicked off at the Museum of Fine Arts last night with a film by one of the Boston born and bred directors to be featured in the fest: David Mehlman's "Odessa Steps," a documentary about Russian immigrant children learning ballroom dance. The son of Rabbi Bernard Mehlman of Temple Israel, Mehlman is a graduate of Solomon Schechter Jewish Day School, as is Oren Ru-davsky, whose documentary about American Hasidism, "A Life Apart," shows at the Coo-lidge Corner Theatre Sunday afternoon at 4:30. Other local notables taking part in the 10-day festival include Judi Ehrlich, the Newton matchmaker who runs New Possibilities, who will be on hand for Monday night's screening of "Me and My Matchmaker" at the Coolidge, and Harvard's Nathan Glazer, Randall Kennedy, and Elizabeth Cohen and The New Republic editor Martin Peretz. The Cambridge crowd is slated to take part in a panel discussion called "Still Arguing: The Legacy of the New York Intellectuals," which will follow the screening of Joseph Dorman's "Arguing the World" next Thursday evening at the MFA Politics as usual at Suffolk Law dinner It was hard to tell whether supporters at Wednesday night's dinner for Suffolk University Law School were law school or Massachusetts State House alums. Three former House speakers, Charlie Flaherty, Dave Bartley, and Bob Quinn (also a former attorney general); former state rep, Boston mayor, and ambassador Ray Flynn; and former Senate president, now UMass president William Bulger were among the 500 guests at the dinner at the Westin.

On hand as well were Suffolk County District Attorney Ralph Martin and Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin. The evening honored longtime Boston attorney John Dunn and raised more than $100,000. Neighborhood playground gets support of note Boston Pops Conductor Keith Lockhart and his wife, violinist Lucia Lin, were two of the many neighbors of the Hurley Elementary School who turned out for a party to raise funds for a playground for the South End school. Lock-hart and Lin live a block away from the Worcester Street school. The Wednesday night reception at the West Concord Street home of Peter Dominski, the Copley office it' 1 1 leasing director, raised $7,000 for the playground's upkeep Jean Trimbach, the 37-year-old 12th generation member of the Trim-bach wine family of Alsace, hosted a wine dinner at Le Meridien Wednesday, at which he served four of the Trimbach wines and a raspberry eaux de vie.

DJs duke it out on the air The radio war of words was in full force Wednesday night, with DJs Nik Carter of WBCN and WAAF's Rocco duking it out over the airwaves. Verbal fists were thrown about racial epithets that a local newspaper claimed Rocco had made about Carter. Carter may as well stay in fighting shape. He has new competition to face as of Monday when he moves to the afternoon shift on WBCN, replacing Mark Parenteau. Given the way Opie Anthony -the afternoon team on WAAF love zinging WBCN, the airwaves are sure to be buzzing.

Meanwhile, 'BCN pulled the plug early on Parenteau. Parenteau, who said he was "shocked, stunned, and confused" when told not to come in to work, had been hoping to say goodbye to his listeners tomorrow, and wanted to leave on an up-note after 20 years with the i statioa DJ Melissa was filling in yesterday and today. i Addressing hometown troops i As former top military commander for John R.
