  1. Facts: Ayers living room, and launching Obama

    Spin Cycle
    Tonight, for about the zillionth time, McCain claimed that Obama launched his political career in ex-radical Bill Ayers' living room. Obama denied it. Here's the best account we've seen of what actually happened, from Chicago Sun-Times reporter Lynn...

  2. At the Lincoln Park Zoo, camping out under the monkeys

    The campfire was in a metal pit, under a great, wide roof. The tents were pitched on a well-tended lawn, with help from people who work for an outdoors store. Bears were a threat only if someone had forgotten to lock an enclosure door.

  3. 'Charlie Brown and the Great Exhibit': Good, not great, grief

    "Charlie Brown and the Great Exhibit" is a big, reasonably well-stuffed celebration of one of the great achievements in American popular culture, the "Peanuts" newspaper comic strip by lachrymose Minnesotan Charles Schulz.

  4. Rosenthal: Rejuvenation of South Side the fair thing to do

    President Grover Cleveland pressed an electric switch, powering the pumps for massive fountains. The jets of water in turn cued the unfurling of flags. What was described as "profound silence" gave way to a cacophony, and the World's Columbian Exposition officially opened a few minutes past noon on May 1, 1893.

  5. Ndamukong Suh's night out with Bears player, Forest Whitaker co-hosting benefit, Zach Gilford dines at People

    Not everyone is upset with the Detroit Lions&rsquo; <strong>Ndamukong Suh</strong> these days. The Bears&rsquo; <strong>Amobi Okoye</strong> joined Suh -- who was ejected from Thursday&rsquo;s game against the Green Bay Packers for stomping on an opposing player -- during his night out in Chicago Friday.

  6. Culture clash: New history of Chicago taps into our malaise

    "The Third Coast: When Chicago Built the American Dream" has an elegant, unflinching, non-nostalgic clarity about Chicago that you rarely see in books about Chicago.
    Thomas Dyja looked at me with abject horror, then humor, then, as his face crumbled in defeat, resignation. A face that said, "See? This is why I wrote a 412-page cultural history of Chicago at midcentury that — as much as it pulls together...

  7. Brace yourself for the invasion of the giant mosquitoes

    We've got it all here in Florida, and this isn't even a horror flick &mdash; car-eating sinkholes, monster storms, pythons in the wild, sharks in the water, alligators in back yards and pit bulls in trailers.

  8. Opera in Focus: Puppets and opera come together

    It's the damnedest thing:
    It's the damnedest thing: Justin Snyder, his long hair parted down the middle, his head thrown back as though communing with a higher power, the hood of his hoodie grazing the floor, his mouth working silently in time with the strains and surges of an...

  9. 'Animal Inside Out' is Body Worlds' take on beasts and birds

    The last time the Body Worlds people displayed at the Museum of Science and Industry, in a 2011 exhibition showing the development and decline of the human corpus, they included, with seeming incongruity, an ostrich.

  10. Forgotten Chicago keeps city's bygone parts alive

    A building is not, of course, a living thing, and so, unless it's the one you work in, live in or visit with some regularity, you probably take most of the city's thousands of other buildings for granted.

  11. This year's upcoming museum exhibits

    Glowing fish, giant dinosaurs, plasticized animals and more. That's not a description of the toy aisles at Target, or at least it's not only that. It also spotlights what's coming up in the new year at the area's family museums and zoos. Here are some of the events we are anticipating in 2013:

  12. Retiring Field Museum, Adler Planetarium presidents give their final thoughts

    This autumn and early winter will see the biggest change in Chicago's Museum Campus since Lake Shore Drive took a hard swing to the west to create the parkland connection of cultural institutions 14 years ago.
