  1. 'Book of My Lives': Aleksander Hemon's remarkable tale

    Aleksandar Hemon landed in the United States two decades ago, January 1992. He was 27, a young Bosnian journalist from Sarajevo arriving on a one-month visa, arranged through a cultural exchange program sponsored by the State Department. Just after he arrived, war broke out in Yugoslavia. Hemon was stranded. In the years since, as he settled into this country and became an acclaimed writer — became one of Chicago's finest contemporary writers and arguably its most important literary talent since Saul Bellow — Hemon has told this immigration story many, many times.

  5. Activist formerly opposed to GMOs explains his change of heart

    It&rsquo;s not often that you hear someone stand up in front of a microphone and tell the world they have been wrong about a high-profile issue. But that&rsquo;s exactly what <a href="%20%20%20http:/www.marklynas.org/2013/01/lecture-to-oxford-farming-conference-3-january-2013/%20">Mark Lynas did last week</a> at the <a href="http://www.ofc.org.uk/conference/2013/2013-conference">Oxford Farming Conference</a> in Oxford, England, when he renounced his long-held belief that genetically modified foods are dangerous and offered a full-throated defense of the technology as a means of feeding a growing population without devastating the environment.&nbsp;

  6. The vast left-wing conspiracy

    I'm not big into conspiracy theories. I never bought into the grassy knoll in Dallas or the anti-Obama birther movement. And it will take a lot of convincing for me to believe Oakland Raiders coach Bill Callahan took a dive in Super Bowl XXXVII to please his friend (and opposing coach) Jon Gruden.
