The crime of the century from Jim’s Pseudo-Intellectual Book Club — Vol. LIII

Fri, 03/18/2011 - 12:58pm | Jim Dey


It’s been nearly 50 years since President John F. Kennedy was assassinated during a visit to Dallas, Tex., but the case continues to fascinate.
How could such a thing have happened? More importantly, who did it?


Good news for Illini hoop fans?

Mon, 02/28/2011 - 3:11pm | Jim Dey

 

 

Illinois basketball fans have had their share of frustrations this year. But they may be getting some good news from an unexpected source  -- the NCAA.

Tue, 10/05/2010 - 9:10am | Jim Dey

In these trying times, there are great questions, and there are GREAT questions.

Ah, Johnny, we hardly knew ye. That’s what they say, but they’re wrong.
Many Americans are familiar with the broad outlines of the life of martyred President John Kennedy, who was elected in 1960.
