...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...
...graceful, ambidextrous hook shots elevated the sport's profile during the 1940s and '50s and led the Minneapolis Lakers to five championships in the team's first six years; in Scottsdale, Arizona. At a time when towering players were thought to be insufficiently nimble, the bespectacled, 2.08 m DePaul graduate single-handedly dominated the newly formed National Basketball Association, drawing crowds, forcing the league to establish new rules (the original 1.83 m key was expanded to thwart his offensive dominance), and once prompting New York's Madison Garden officials to promote a 1949 game on its marquee as GEO.

...When SSM DePaul Health Center in St. Louis, Mo., hired Ideo to help make over a nursing unit, Ideo staff members deployed a technique they call bodystorming. Taking on the roles of real patients, they acted out the entire physical experience of a stay in the unit, with one hand on a crutch and the other on a video camera. They also gave disposable cameras to DePaul's nurses and told them to take pictures of anything that impeded them during their duties. The result? Dozens of small fixes--such as a room for families, a phone for every nurse...
