  1. It took a trio to come up with Wonder Woman

    If comic book characters are a driving force in Hollywood, it's worth noting that Wonder Woman, one of the most iconic characters of the last 70 years, has yet to star in her own live-action movie.
    If comic book characters are a driving force in Hollywood, it's worth noting that Wonder Woman, one of the most iconic characters of the last 70 years, has yet to star in her own live-action movie. She hasn't been completely ignored. Two years ago,...

  2. Common sense locked out in Cook County Jail dispute

    Something extremely odd happened in the Cook County criminal court system in November: Suddenly, and without notice or explanation, judges all but stopped ordering pretrial detainees to be released on electronic home monitoring.

  3. Documentary spotlights civil rights pioneer

    When we hear the name Whitney Young, most Chicagoans probably think of the city's Whitney M. Young Magnet High School, rather than the man after whom it was named.

  4. Big-top operetta that time forgot will receive its Chicago premiere

    As the young daughter of an internationally celebrated composer, Yvonne Kalman delighted in eavesdropping on conversations her father, Emmerich Kalman, had with other famed European emigres as they gathered around plates of freshly prepared Hungarian delicacies in the kitchen of the Kalmans' New York home, before the platters of food were brought out to the other party guests.

  5. Phil Vettel: Two stars for Boarding House

    The first thing that catches your eye when entering The Boarding House is the chandelier. Except it's not really a chandelier, but an art installation consisting of 9,000-plus (official count: 9,063) suspended wine glasses.

  6. The Rahm identity shines through in 'Chicago Fire'

    This is not a political story.
    This is not a political story. This is a story about acting and the thin line between a performance and a public face. This is about aesthetics. Please do not read any ideological argument into the following or take what I am about to say as cynicism or...

  9. Director William Friedkin comes home

    William Friedkin, the director of &ldquo;The French Connection&rdquo; and &ldquo;The Exorcist,&rdquo; a pair of acclaimed Tracy Letts adaptations (&ldquo;Bug&rdquo; and &ldquo;Killer Joe&rdquo;) and author of &ldquo;The Friedkin Connection,&rdquo; a new memoir about his 50-plus-year filmmaking career, answered the door of his hotel room. It was a lousy room. &ldquo;Small,&rdquo; he said simply. He stepped aside to let me in, looking disappointed and resigned. He wore large, 1970s-style eyeglasses, sneakers, black socks and a black shirt. He tugged his chinos high above his waist. This is not much bigger than the one-room apartment that he grew up in at the corner of Foster Avenue and Sheridan Road, he said.

  11. Peter Sagal takes educational ride with 'Constitution USA'

    &ldquo;Constitution USA With Peter Sagal,&rdquo; the new PBS series about the country's ever-disputed founding document, tests an important constitutional principle: that the framework for a federal government, drafted with high hopes and noble purpose back in 1787, can be taught via flush toilets, marijuana buds and a public-radio host riding a Harley.

  12. Reawakening the ghosts of Skokie

    To me, a kid growing up in the 1960s and '70s, Skokie seemed like any other suburb, its tidy houses sitting on impeccably manicured lawns. Sure, on Friday nights and Saturday mornings you'd sometimes see Hasidic Jews strolling to and from synagogue....
