Warsaw’s new archbishop resigned Sunday amid a scandal over his involvement with the communist-era secret police that has shaken the deeply Roman Catholic homeland of the late Pope John Paul II.

…for Catholic-related Ohio State stuff. From the past at least. "Uh….Coach Hayes?" Bus doors opened, and coyotes could be heard howling in the southern California night.

"Billy and I are very close," Meyer said recently. "He recruited me to Florida." Meyer, Donovan and Pat…

Richard Powers on his process: Except for brief moments of duress, I haven’t touched a keyboard for years. No fingers were tortured in producing these words — or the last half a million words of my published fiction. By rough count, I’ve sent 10,000 e-mail messages without typing.

A crime wave – in addition to everything else. Eight people have been found dead since Jan. 1, seven of them shooting victims, with the most recent being a young woman found lying on her bed in the Uptown section Friday morning, shot in the head.
