  3. Head injuries and the NFL

    Medical researchers recently confirmed what many had already suspected. Junior Seau, the former NFL linebacker who killed himself last spring, suffered from degenerative brain disease -- most likely the result of multiple hits to the head accumulated during his football career.

  4. Billy Corgan's salon hopes to inspire conversation

And even if Billy Corgan could qualify for madame-hood, he wouldn't be going for extravagance. At least not at 6 p.m. on a winterstruck Thursday, and not in a setting as casual as his new Highland Park tea shop.

  9. 'Head Games' assesses the price of football ★★ 1/2

    Based on the 2006 book of the same title, Steve James' wide-ranging documentary wonders how much we're willing to gamble in our kids' pursuit of sports, to say nothing of the adults, particularly regarding the concussion magnet known as football. &quot;Head Games," the book, was written by one of the film's focal points, onetime Harvard defensive tackle Chris Nowinski. Between the hits he took on the football field and the walloping he endured in professional wrestling, Nowinski knows first-hand the risks &mdash; and the underreported, often cavalierly dismissed incidents of brain injury &mdash; he experienced in the name of spectator combat.

  11. There are no children in Annawadi

    I've long been a fan of Katherine Boo's writing. In one of my favorite New Yorker stories, about efforts to get the poor to marry, her opening line is a treasure: &ldquo;One July morning last year in Oklahoma City, in a public-housing project named Sooner Haven, 22-year-old Kin Henderson pulled a pair of low-rider jeans over a high-rising gold lame thong and declared herself ready for church.&rdquo;
