...city for allegations of abuse by Burge and his men. "It is a sham by politically connected attorneys to protect the politically powerful." Meanwhile, Egan and Boyle said they have turned over their evidence - 33,000 documents and testimony from 700 witnesses - to the office of U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, who could bring conspiracy or similar charges under federal law. A spokesman for Fitzgerald says his office won't make a decision until digesting the report...
...walk from the beginning of the 20th century, stepping safely from decade to decade, and find one writer after another anointed as the Voice. F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, J.D. Salinger, Jack Kerouac, Joseph Heller, Kurt Vonnegut, Jay McInerney, Bret Easton Ellis ... but once you get to Douglas Coupland (who published Generation X in 1991), the last novelist who on a moonless night could be taken for the V.O.A.G., the trail goes cold.

...corruption trial of Mayor's Daley's former patronage chief Robert Sorich and three Co-defendants. The group is accused of engaging in a complicated scheme to ensure that politically connected job applicants received favorable treatment in city hiring and promotions. The federal investigation, led by U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald (the same one overseeing the Valerie Plame CIA leak case in Washington) has already led the city clerk to resign in disgrace and to 35 public corruption convictions...
...everyone thinks the communities are a great idea. "There are a number of potential risks," says Susan Fitzgerald, a public-finance analyst at Moody's Investors Service. "What if you've sponsored an assisted-living community and find out that residents have been mistreated?" The damage to the university's reputation could be crushing. There are financial risks too. Not all schools command the loyalty or have the brand name of a UCLA or an Ohio State. Small-college retirement developments might fizzle...
