...Seuss is worth 1/2 point, Tolstoy 130 points, and students can redeem points for everything from a pencil (10 points) to a trip to an Atlanta Braves game (150 points). And if you think the tests are giveaways, guess who flunked The Cat in the Hat test last week, flubbing 3 out of 5. Like you would have remembered if it was a A) windy, B) sunny, C) snowy...

Or creep in on little cat feet to the Carl Sandburg Room. The Mike Royko Room, with its antique three-quarter bed, is best suited for the lone traveler, while the Studs Turkel Suite in the carriage house provides a break from Working...
