  1. Ebertfest: Poignant tribute to late founder

    CHAMPAIGN — Film festivals — festivals themselves, let alone films — are rarely as poignant as the one unfolding right now in this college town. The 15th Annual Roger Ebert’s Film Festival began Wednesday without its founder, who died two weeks ago. Earlier in the evening, an hour or so before the opening-night gala, Chaz Ebert, his widow, told a reception at the University of Illinois’ president’s home that every year after Ebertfest, on their way back to Chicago, the couple would write down movies to show next time. Before he died, Roger left her a long list, of dozens of movies to show.

    CHAMPAIGN -- The 15th Annual Roger Ebert Film Festival began Wednesday night without its founder, Roger Ebert, who died two weeks ago to the day. Before a sold-out house of 1,400, Chaz Ebert, his widow, took the stage of the newly restored Virginia Theatre wearing the white scarf he wore to the festival each year. When the standing ovation ended, she said: “I am so happy to be with you this evening. I was hoping my -- I always called Roger ‘my boyfriend’ -- my boyfriend would be with me, and he’s not...” She added: “Thank you for giving me some place to go today. Thank you, I need this.”

  4. Taking the less-known route

    If you can't get in — or can't afford — a top business school, is an MBA from a lesser-known school worth it?
    If you can't get in — or can't afford — a top business school, is an MBA from a lesser-known school worth it? The answer depends largely on the student. Those gunning for the top of the organizational chart, and without the networking...
