  1. Fall books preview: Time to get serious

As the presidential election shifts into high gear, and publishers and baseball managers both roll out their heavy hitters, we've combed through the books being released in the next few months to find great reads about everything from the financial markets and the current administration to tales of widows in Eastwick and India.

  2. Let's not turn our YouTubing backs on the classics

  7. Seeing just world in woes of others

    The news story about Marcel Lizak was brief, maybe 100 words in the Tribune, but it brimmed with cosmic justice. It said the Montgomery man was nicked for a DUI on a Sunday night, held in police custody for two hours, then released after posting $100...

  8. Where's Weldon?

    The poet <b>Weldon Kees</b> was born in Beatrice, Neb., in 1914, though what's best known about him is that on July 18, 1955, his car was found abandoned with the keys still in the ignition in a parking lot on the Marin County side of the Golden Gate Bridge. Kees had often spoken of killing himself and had once planned, with James Agee, to write a book on famous suicides; together they came up with a wonderful title, &quot;How-Not-To-and-Why-Not-To-Do-It," though the project came to nothing. Both men were too busy plotting their own deaths.

  9. Setting the record straight on Obama's neighborhood

    Having made hay of Barack Obama's relative youth and his foreign-sounding name, his opponents are now homing in on his neighborhood.

    Having made hay of Barack Obama's relative youth and his foreign-sounding name, his opponents are now homing in on his neighborhood. For his critics, the presumptive Democratic nominee's home turf offers a tempting opportunity to paint him as an...

  11. His wit was hard-boiled

    WE think we know Damon Runyon, and we might think we're pretty jaded about him, but a fat new anthology, <b>&quot; 'Guys and Dolls' and Other Writings" </b>(Penguin: 636 pp., $18 paper), introduced by <b>Pete Hamill </b>and edited and annotated by Cornell professor <b>Daniel R. Schwarz</b>, makes us see afresh a writer whose hard-bitten and ironic point of view prefigures the fictional worlds of "The Godfather" and "The Sopranos." There's much more to Runyon than Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra looking sharp and talking cute in the 1955 film version of "Guys and Dolls."
