  2. Drawing insight into Google's Doodles

    <span class=&quot;dateline" style="text-align: justify; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;">SAN FRANCISCO &mdash;</span> Google.com is the most visited online front door in the United States. According to Alexa, a longtime Internet statistics firm, it is also the second most visited home page in the world behind Facebook.com; roughly 40 percent of global Internet users visit Google's primary portal at least once a day. And yet, considering the culture-changing ubiquity of the Silicon Valley-based tech giant &mdash; which reported more than $50 billion in revenue last year &mdash; what a user tends to find there is famously, comically austere. It is a digital Antarctica: Sheer white for miles, no ads, no headlines, just a search bar and the Google logo.

  3. Camp Douglas effort stirs ghosts of the Civil War

    If you are among those who believe in ghosts, you've got it made. According to various surveys and studies, something in the neighborhood of 45 percent of adults in this country believe in ghosts. That number is almost certainly higher here, since we have such familiar spirits as Resurrection Mary, flagging down cars traveling Archer Avenue; the seven unfortunates gunned down in the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, prowling North Clark Street; and the innumerable young women murdered by H.H. Holmes, wandering the grounds of what was the World's Columbian Exposition.

  5. Judy Blume discusses the joys of writing at Lit Fest

    Flannery O'Connor once observed that, &quot;Writing a novel is a terrible experience, during which the hair often falls out and the teeth decay."

  6. How I Made It: SpaceX exec Gwynne Shotwell

    <strong>The gig:</strong> Gwynne Shotwell, 49, is president and chief operating officer of SpaceX, the Hawthorne company that builds rockets and space capsules to resupply the International Space Station for NASA. Shotwell is No. 2 at the pioneering company behind founder and chief executive Elon Musk. She is responsible for day-to-day operations and managing customer relationships and company growth.

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

    &quot;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...

  12. Taking the less-known route

    If you can't get in &mdash; or can't afford &mdash; a top business school, is an MBA from a lesser-known school worth it?
    If you can't get in — or can't afford — a top business school, is an MBA from a lesser-known school worth it? The answer depends largely on the student. Those gunning for the top of the organizational chart, and without the networking...
