  4. Taking the kids to Chicago

    The hardest thing about visiting Chicago is deciding where to take the kids first &mdash; Chicago's famous Lakefront where you can ride bikes and in-line skate, or Lincoln Park where you can visit one of the few free zoos (<a href="http://www.lpzoo.org">http://www.lpzoo.org</a>) in the country. (Kids especially love the polar bears.)

  7. Dinosaur-size debt

    For many people the defining moment in the Field Museum's recent history was the bid at a 1997 auction that made Chicago home to the Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton known as Sue.

  10. Chicago X-files: Center studies UFOs

    Opening a file cabinet at the Center for UFO Studies reveals manila folders marked with spine-tingling titles such as "Alien Luggage Report," "Project Moonwater" or "The CIA's role in UFO Studies." Yet, elsewhere there's a conspicuous lack of secret laboratories with test tubes that hold mysterious substances.
