About

For complete info on this blog’s author, Jim Bowman, go here. For what’s specific to this blog, here you go:

Chi Trib and Sun-Times are main events on this blog’s card. Bouquets and brickbats are tossed, eagle eye is kept for bias and other forms of feckless, yea reckless, behavior. But there are also items of literary and religious nature, plus gobs and snippets of the merely curious: this isn’t a newspaper-oriented blog for nothing.

Jim Bowman lives in Oak Park, IL, a Chicago suburb. He covered religion for the Chicago Daily News, 1968 to its folding in 1978, has written eight books, including Bending the Rules: What American Priests Tell American Catholics (Crossroad, 1994), and did a column on Chicago history for the Chicago Tribune, 1982-85.
