Teasing Scars

All of these links lead to cached copies of the Tribune's original files. This is probably a violation of a few copyright laws, but I'm not really in the mood to care. :) This also explains why some of the images on the pages don't work.

The original article, The Scars Left By Teasing, was written by me and published in the Chicago Tribune on April 19, 2000.

The responses were Voice of the People articles written in response to my original one. They were all published on April 22, 2000.

The Inc. Column is a regular column in the Chicago Tribune, and one of the tidbits it covered on April 24, 2000 was the Governor of Illinois (George Ryan) calling me to offer me a summer internship (which I happily accepted).
