Attorney James R. Dugan II of the Murray Law Firm in New Orleans, the...

Schulman screamed when he saw the white sneaker on his right foot turn red as it pooled with blood. He dragged himself toward a gas station. Someone called 911. An emergency-room doctor later compared the injured right foot to a crushed tomato: Squeeze hard enough, and the insides will burst. The truck's wheels also wrenched Schulman's left calfbone, causing a severe fracture. As he was lifted into an ambulance, Schulman mouthed the name he had seen emblazoned on the truck's cherry-red cab. He didn't want to forget it. Link ...

With $4 billion in yearly sales, Old Republic is about 10 times PMA's size. Donnelly expects his company will stay in business as an independent unit of Old Republic. Spun off...

City officials have compelling reasons to do more. As Mayor Richard M. Daley's ambitious Bike 2015 plan points out, Chicago motorists lose hours of potentially productive time in traffic, and spend an average of...
