  1. You (Still) Can’t Say That on TV?

    Off The Markley
    It should come as no surprise that as a happy proponent of vulgarity, I don’t think there’s much point in TV, radio, newspapers and other media censoring language. Let’s focus on a specific case: the word to which my parents referred...

  3. Walk This Way! links readers to Lehigh Valley trails

    It launched softly, almost silently, like the inaudible patter that Carl Sandburg called the fog that comes in on little cat feet.

  4. Hans M. Wuerth: 'Where they burn books, they will ultimately burn people'

    When on Jan. 30, 1933, then-German President Hindenburg appointed Hitler as the country's chancellor, it changed German as well as world history. Twelve years later, Hitler ended his own life, but not before millions of victims had perished. Several...

  7. Review: 'The Third Coast' by Thomas Dyja

    The title of the first chapter of Thomas Dyja's "The Third Coast: When Chicago Built the American Dream," evokes a smile: "The Brick Is Another Teacher." Dyja's book is roughly brick-size and brick-heft, and I wondered what it might have to teach. • His subtitle suggests that Dyja aims to join the long and semi-honorable tradition of Chicago boosterism, books that claim Chicago is "world-class" in something, or that Chicago's influence on this, that or the other aspect of American culture has been underestimated. Such urban braggadocio was one foundation of Chicago, which grew from prairie trading post to world city so quickly in no small part due to the extreme claims of developers and politicians. But back to bricks.

  9. Excerpt: 'The Third Coast' by Thomas Dyja

    From his stove, Nelson Algren saw a dark shape stumble out of the bar across Wabansia Avenue. It teetered once, then slumped under the Nectar Beer sign, sizzling neon in the bitter February cold. Eight degrees, an army fatigue jacket, and too many shots of Old Taylor; he'd be face-down dead in a snowbank before the end of the night. Algren felt a pang. Did the guy's cat die? Was his wife screwing the precinct's captain? It was only a pork chop frying in the pan, but he had an urge to drag the rummy up here and give it to him with a cup of coffee. There were only the two rooms — kitchen and bedroom, plus a shared head for 10 bucks a month — but they were warm, full of books, and Algren had another pork chop ...

  10. Kevin Coval on his new poetry collection, "Schtick"
