...think is his main job: being a TV host, fronting series of weekly movie-review shows since 1976, first with Gene Siskel, then with Richard Roeper. He's also recorded commentaries for DVD releases of classic films, from Citizen Kane to Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, the sleazerrific Russ Meyer movie that Roger co-wrote in his 20s.

He fought to allow all Americans to see exactly how their money is being spent, and demanded that senators no longer be able to request legislative earmarks anonymously. He worked with Senator Russ Feingold to implement common-sense ethics reforms, preventing members of Congress from accepting gifts from lobbyists and restricting the revolving door between lobbying firms and Capitol Hill.

...convenient, theft-proof parking spot. "When you can find a safe parking spot on the street, it's often 100 feet or more from your destination; and if there is secure bike parking, it's usually behind the building near the weeds next to a trash dumpster," says Russ Roca, a local photographer who doesn't own a car and hauls up to 200 pounds of equipment on his bike's trailer attachment.
