  2. Chicago bike accident highlights the oft-brutal laws of physics, biology

    Any attempt to make bicycling in Chicago easier and safer by using the law is welcome.

  5. Inside the actors' studio, with Zach Braff

    Zach Braff (Northwestern University, class of '97), the third most popular Zach in Hollywood (after Galifianakis and Efron), went back to his old school last week. He'd returned to teach an acting class, a one-time workshop. The day before, he tweeted: “Illinois, I am in you.” Then later, more nostalgically: “Northwestern University, I'm back.
