THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE

JUNE 1995

Cover: Baseball is business as usual; illustration by Steve Brodner.

• Bottom-line drive
  Talk of overpaid players, overpriced tickets, and owners on the verge of ruin has kept baseball's fans from focusing on the true financial score.
  ALLEN R. SANDERSON

• Comp time
  Forget papers and class participation. In the Hutchins College, students were judged solely by comprehensive exams.
  TIM ANDREW OBERMILLER

• Moving pictures
  Planes, trains, and automobiles transformed the modern world. They also changed the look of children's books.
  MARY RUTH YOE

• Blonde faith
  A U of C grad who admits he likes Madonna, Matthew Rettenmund turns his encylopedic knowledge of the cultural icon into, well, an encyclopedia.
  JACLYN H. PARK
