...image was riveting, as justice John Paul Stevens, a Chicago native, presented it. A gang member and his father are hanging out near Wrigley Field. Are they there "to rob an unsuspecting fan or just to get a glimpse of Sammy Sosa leaving the ball park?" A police officer has no idea, but under Chicago's anti-gang law, the cop must order them to disperse. With Stevens writing for a 6-to-3 majority, the Supreme Court last week struck down Chicago's sweeping statute, which had sparked 42,000 arrests in its three years of enforcement...
...only Bazooka Joe. Mints, shmints; cinnaburst, minnamurst. What's weaker than a sudden explosion of mock maturity than the youngster who without warning switches from bubble gum to mint? Really, it's all about the roots. Who was there in elementary school and junior high? Not the Wrigley's twins, not any strangely favored lifesaver, not any "curiously strong" mint.

But those names are pushing beers, and when it comes to beer and sports, the connection is so primally made that I can't get worked up over it. And don't talk to me about Wrigley Field, either. That was the man's name, after all. Call the place Juicy Fruit Park, and then I'll worry...
That's the way it was until earlier this year when Moody, then 35, found her way to the unobtrusive three-story building known as Genesis House. Tucked close by Chicago's Wrigley Field, Genesis House is a place where hookers try to go straight. Seven days a week, around the clock, women turn up for a shower, a snack or a shoulder to cry on. They are never pressured to give up life on the street. Women like Moody are allowed to decide whether to embark on full-scale, residential rehabilitation. "We're here to plant the seed...
