Alderman wants to keep 'Jersey Boys' smoking The Jersey Boys may not have to go cold turkey, after all. Politics and theater -- the real kind -- make strange bedfellows. Downtown Ald. Brendan Reilly (42nd) wants to exempt live theater from Chicago's smoking ban. Reilly said he would introduce the amendment at Wednesday's City Council meeting and push for speedy passage to allow the Chicago production of "Jersey Boys" to put cigarettes back into the hands of actors.

A 50-year-old man rescued by divers Tuesday evening after falling into Lake Michigan near the Southeast Side has died. The man has been identified as Julius Collins, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office. Emergency crews responded to a report of a man in the water about 5:30 p.m. near 67th Street and Promontory Drive, Fire Media Affairs Cmdr. Will Knight said.

Sports The riddle of Harden: More risk or reward? Jay Mariotti: What, you thought a general manager who signed a free agent during an angioplasty procedure was going to sit still? As formal responses go, Jim Hendry struck quicker Tuesday than Cynthia Rodriguez's divorce attorney and Rampage Jackson in an octagon jam.


Ozuna out, anger up They've survived blow-up dolls, tire marks from the ''Ozzie Guillen bus'' and a bunch of hungry ''Piranhas'' that just won't go away. Yet there stood pitcher Jose Contreras, hours before his start Tuesday as the White Sox took on the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium, looking like he had just received a thunderous body blow and there wasn't enough air in the room for him to take a breath.


Rose pushes the pace, then has to take a seat The Bulls' offense was much more run and just enough gun Tuesday to hold off the Indiana Pacers 89-84 for their first summer-league victory in Orlando, Fla. Derrick Rose vowed after his subpar play in a loss Monday to the Miami Heat that he would be more aggressive.









Lifestyles Five warning signs men shouldn't ever dismiss When it comes to staying healthy, men can be their own worst enemy. While women tend to get into the habit of seeing a doctor regularly once they reach child-bearing age, men often wait until they've got a serious problem before they'll go. That's partly because there aren't doctors dedicated specifically to men's health, as there are for women. But it's also a matter of attitude. That said, there are a few key symptoms of serious illness that experts say men shouldn't ignore.

Entertainment He did survive: Tony Clifton returns for charity gig Tony Clifton, an alter ego of the late comedian Andy Kaufman, will headline a July 31-Aug. 17 run at the Chopin Theatre, 1543 W. Division, to benefit Comic Relief’s work on behalf of artists affected by Hurricane Katrina. The lounge singer character will be backed up by burlesque dancers and a band of Gulf Coast musicians. Kaufman used to open his own shows as Clifton, an obnoxious lout who was famously banned from the set of Kaufman’s sitcom “Taxi.”

Business Just 63 percent of flights depart O'Hare on time As if long security lines, fewer flights and paying for checked luggage weren't enough, here's another tidbit that could send Chicago air travelers flying through the roof.
