...Chicago, of course. That always clangs a national cowbell. At recurring Cub and White Sox calamities (DePaul's dependable basketball disasters are fairly localized pains), the city's slumped shoulders extend over a remarkably broad piece of the nation. But some things are not meant to be shared and, until now, the Bears have embodied most of them. No outsider is as wary of freezing conditions as a Chicagoan is proprietary of frostbite. Any Sunbelt slur is returned with a blast of icy superiority. "Bear weather," they call it. A Midwesterner's notion of comfort is plainly more profound than...

That's why the nation's largest data miner, whose computers maintain and manipulate 19 billion data files for clients ranging from the Cub Scouts to the CIA, found itself trying to explain last week how a Nigerian con artist posing as several small-business owners could extract data on 145,000 people.
