...Chicago--grim, gray and covered with dirty slush--is clearly not the same shining citadel we saw last week in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. There's crime on the streets of Chicago, unlike in picture-perfect Winnetka, and its up to Costanzo and his oh-so-cool sidekick Ray Hughes to whip the outlaws into shape...
...Central Square, home of Man Ray/Campus. The better dance floor is in Campus, which is a gay club. Sunday night is lesbian night. Saturday night is guys only and they are usually pretty strict about not letting in women. But this is definitely a place to rock.

(Because of Chapman's death, the owners replaced the traditionally scuffed, dirty baseballs with shiny new ones that could be seen better--and hit farther. Rabbit was not ; added to the ball...
...individual heroism (as well as some blunders) have found a way into print. Yet many old-timers reunited last week agreed with the sentiment of James Murphy, 81, OSS chief of counterintelligence. Said he: "The true facts of our accomplishments were never fully disclosed and explained." Georgetown University Professor Ray Cline, who went on from the OSS to become a CIA deputy director, said much the same, adding, "We want to get it all down before...
