Dennis Quaid: 'At Any Price' star puts experiences to use
There was a time, in the late 1980s, when each new film starring Dennis Quaid was The One. The one destined to make him not just an actor, not just an actor with guts and a wily, toothy joker's grin, but a huge box-office-reliable star. In the summer of...

'The Hunger Games' adaptation hits the target ✭✭✭
![The hypocrisy at the heart of "The Hunger Games" is irresistible. Novelist Suzanne Collins, whose trilogy has been decreed "awesome" by, among others, my 5th grade son, indicts violence and organized brutality as tools of mass-audience manipulation.

And land mines. And fearsome dogs, conjured by the dogs of the totalitarian state.](http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/thumbnails/column/2012-03/68917025-20054842.jpg "The hypocrisy at the heart of "The Hunger Games\" is irresistible.

California's initiative process adds up to a huge waste of money
No one today can overlook that it's California's self-indulgent initiative process that's attracting the big political bucks into the state, the way a magnet attracts scrap iron. Year in, year out, the torrent of spending on initiative campaigns swamps...

Farmers are embracing technology
Farming is a high-tech profession. You might not know it based on how television portrays the farmer, with the overalls, dirty hat and slow drawl.
