...most new facilities - including the 80,000-seat Olympic Stadium, scheduled for the South Side's Washington Park - would be temporary, a strategy intended to avert the Olympics' worst legacy, expensive venues that sit idle for years. And then there's the Obama factor: the leader of the free world calls Chicago home and will personally travel to Copenhagen to pitch the IOC. (See 100 Olympic athletes to watch...
...America." Certainly the most provocative: there are nearly as many movies attacking Moore (mostly docs but also David Zucker's anti-Moore comedy-satire An American Carol) as there are films directed by him.

A man who made his career attacking corporate America has become a pretty big business himself...

As part of an innovative program in low-income neighborhoods, the city school district began hosting weekly dinners for students and their families, paid for with federal funds from the Child and Adult Care Food Program. Families get a free hot meal and a cooking demonstration that shows them how to prepare similarly well-balanced entrées at home. "Part of that initiative is to get children to sit down and eat with their parents, and part of it is to teach families what a healthy dinner is," says...
