  1. Chicago BBB chief has navigated scandal to rebuild public trust

    When Steve Bernas took over as CEO of the Chicago region's Better Business Bureau, the only employer he's ever known as a professional, it was a baptism by fire.

  2. Bookshelves don't lie

    Until recently I owned just two books that were composed of little else but pictures of people's bookshelves. Not nearly enough. One book I received last year for Christmas, a compendium of pictures of author's bookshelves, a sort of literary rubbernecking. The other book I received many Christmases ago, a coffee-table book of pictures of people reclining at home surrounded by their mammoth collections of books. The latter contains a picture I have never forgotten: Keith Richards in a chair in the center of a large home library, probably in a mansion in the British countryside, strumming a guitar and surrounded (you realize the closer you stare into the picture) by shelf after shelf of war histories, biographies of generals and tactical manuals.

  3. Jim fixed nothing: Growing up in 1970s England with Jimmy Savile

    In 1971, when I was 8 years old and growing up in Rochdale in the North of England, I'd occasionally get to ride in the front seat of my parent's Hillman Imp. “Clunk Click,” my dad would say, “Every Trip.” I'd laugh at that. And...

  4. Car review: Bugatti Veyron leads entrants in 200-mph supercar club

    Life is different driving 200 miles an hour. The magnitude of what you're doing — traveling fast enough to lift a loaded Boeing 747 off the ground — is belied by a surprisingly calm environment. It's quiet, almost, save for some low wind...

  7. State and Annapolis fail to disclose Vegas trip spending by legal deadline

    The Baltimore Sun
    When it comes to responding to public information acts quickly, the state's larger jurisdictions could learn a lot from tiny Havre de Grace. Back in May, about 40 members from the state and seven local governments attended the Global Retail Real Estate...

  8. No walk in the park

    In 2008, when Malcolm Gladwell wrote a New Yorker essay called &ldquo;Late Bloomers,&rdquo; author Ben Fountain served as exhibit A. The story outlined how Fountain had given up a solid legal career to pursue writing. After 18 years &mdash; during which Fountain's wife, Sharon, supported their family with her own legal career &mdash; Fountain &ldquo;took the literary world by storm,&rdquo; as Gladwell put it, with his short story collection, &ldquo;Brief Encounters with Che Guevara.&rdquo; The book won a Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award and sold well. At the time, Fountain was 48. The core question Gladwell's essay sought to answer was &ldquo;Why do we equate genius with precocity?&rdquo;

  11. Critic's Notebook: Grantland takes on the bigger world of sports

    When it comes to sportswriting, I tend to subscribe to George Plimpton's small-ball theory: The smaller the ball, the better the writing about the sport. This has a lot to do with my own biases (I'm a baseball fan, not much interest in basketball or football), but it also seems borne out by the literature. And yet, if Bill Simmons is right, the whole notion of a ball theory (small or large) might turn out to be moot.
