...immediately following games, all reporters should be allowed inside to talk to them. A deadline a deadline, and sports teams need the media as badly as the media needs the teams. But why force self-respecting journalists to degrade themselves by chasing naked jocks around a musty, steamy, slimy den of vulgarity...
...electronics technician who supports his wife Mabel and five daughters on a salary of $30,000, had nowhere to go last year when the landlord abandoned the apartment building in which the family lived. When police declined to drive away crack users who had set up a drug den in the building's basement, Olmo picked up a baseball bat and chased them out himself.

"He is, after all, an attorney," says Gray. "He measures his words carefully." But when the venue shifted to the comfortable writing den in Turow's home, half-an-hour's train ride away, conversation loosened up. "When we talked about literature, the enthusiasm bubbled up," says Gray. "Turow gets extremely animated when he talks about writers. It was like a college session, with two instructors getting together over a beer...
