Director Oliver Stone on 'W.': 'I don't take sides' Oliver Stone doesn't take a breath. "You don't know a lot about Bush," he says. "You think you know. A lot will shock you." The controversial director is feeling the heat from what certainly will be the most talked-about film of 2008, but Stone is someone who never lets them see him sweat. Days away from his "W." opening at the multiplex, Stone is mulling over if and when the real commander-in-chief will see the biography Stone directed about his life.

Hawks' center of ascension The Blackhawks have defied the adage that says if something isn't broken, don't fix it as they enter their home opener tonight against the Nashville Predators at the United Center. Toward the end of last season, coach Denis Savard created a line that had Jonathan Toews centering for wingers Patrick Sharp and Patrick Kane.

Biggest Bull lighter, still getting better When Aaron Gray arrived at the Berto Center a little more than a year ago, the first thing that stood out about him was his size. He was a legitimate 7-footer with a solid frame. For a team lacking in size at center, the addition of Gray was a welcome sight.

Lifestyles Runners kept well-watered The heat was on Sunday, but that didn't stop thousands of long-distance runners from crossing the finish line at the 31st Chicago Marathon. With temperatures in the mid-80s, organizers elevated a race-day alert system to "Red/High," meaning potentially dangerous conditions, three hours into the race.

Entertainment Latest 'Bond' theme a 'Quantum' of bad Jim DeRogatis: The pairing sounds like one of those fantasies rock critics conjure when lamenting an obvious talent sunk by mainstream pandering and overly polished production values: "How powerful could Alicia Keys' voice and those keyboards be if they were backed by a real flesh-and-blood, dirt-'n'-grime blues band like, say, the White Stripes?" Well, now we know. And, sadly, instead of Detroit's platinum-selling garage-blues auteur elevating the Gap ad R&B queen, Keys simply succeeds in making Jack White sound like a mediocre retro-rocker.

Business Can world fix Humpty Dumpty markets? Terry Savage: Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put Humpty together again! As the stock market struggles to find a bottom, I’m reminded of that old nursery rhyme. Leaders of the world’s industrialized countries are struggling to find a solution that will put the system together again. But the cracks are too great.
