Study shows isolation may lead to corrupt state capitals

chicagotribune.com — What makes some state capitals so much more corrupt than others? New research provides a partial answer to that long-standing question: isolated capitals breed more corruption and lack of news coverage is a major reason why. State capitals have long been known for corrupt practices.

How eight TV fires spread across the world

media.apps.chicagotribune.com — The chemical industry often states that flame retardants prevent fires, reduce pollutants and save society millions of dollars. But it turns out that a major foundation of these claims is a report documenting eight television fires in and around Stockholm. That report had nothing to do with flame retardants and is so obscure it is available only in Swedish.
