    Peavy, Dunn lead White Sox past Cubs 6-0

    The White Sox’s Robin Ventura holds the BP Cup as the rest of the team poses for a picture after the Sox defeated the Cubs 6-0 after an interleague baseball game Sunday.

    May 20, 2012 4:59 PM

    Gordon Beckham and Tyler Flowers also went deep as the White Sox matched season highs with three homers in a game and four straight wins. Not bad, considering Paul Konerko sat out his second in a row after being hit near his left eye by a pitch on Friday. For the Cubs, meanwhile, the misery continued. They dropped their sixth straight to match their longest skid this season, and they never regrouped once the White Sox started knocking the ball out of the park.

From his hometown and the city where his re-election operation hums, Obama spoke of a post-2014 world when "the Afghan war as we understand it is over." Until then, though, remaining U.S. and allied troops face the continued likelihood of fierce combat.

    Young illegal immigrants coming out of the shadows

    Diane Martell of Bessemer, Ala., center, leads protesters in a march outside the Alabama Capitol in Montgomery, Ala. during a demonstration against the state’s immigration laws. Diane says she is tired of watching the fear in her father’s face every time he drives, tired of her mother begging her not to walk to school on the days the ICE van is parked down the street, tired of being told that she cannot get a driver’s license, or a job or maybe even a college education because she doesn’t have a Social Security number. “We are human beings,” Martell says. “We are not criminals, and we are not aliens and we cannot just stay silent.”

    It began several years ago, tentatively, almost furtively, with a few small rallies and a few provocative T-shirts. In the past two years it has grown into a full-fledged movement, emboldening thousands of young people, terrifying their parents, and unsettling authorities unsure of how to respond. From California to New York, children of families who live here illegally are "coming out" — marching behind banners that say "undocumented and unafraid." In "outing" their families as well as...

    On July 11, 1957, American tennis player Althea Gibson smiles and waves to the crowd from the back seat of an open car during a ticker-tape parade up Broadway in New York City. Gibson, of New York’s Harlem neighborhood, is the first black person to win at Wimbledon. Gibson, who helped break down racial barriers in women’s sports, was among the more than a million black people who weren’t counted in the 1940 census.

The term "rare chicken" might sound like an oxymoron or perhaps an invite for salmonella poisoning, but it's serious business to the staff and volunteers of Garfield Farm and Inn Museum in Campton Hills. The museum, located on about 375 verdant acres, includes a barn, a horse barn and an inn, all dating back to the 1840s. It is also the largest Illinois farm on the National Register of Historic...
