Brad Biggs: It was Michael Turner’s five brothers, four of whom still live in the Chicago area, who talked the most about the Bears going after the running back in free agency. The Turner brothers and Bears fans everywhere.
Quicker than violet can be mistaken for magenta, the ''Purple Haze'' at Northwestern on Saturday became the purple dazed. The Wildcats spotted No. 23 Michigan State a 17-0 lead in the first quarter and spent the rest of the afternoon watching their unbeaten season go the way of a fading lakefront rainbow, losing 37-20 in front of 32,527 at Ryan Field.
The best way to silence a hostile crowd is by scoring early. The Blackhawks did that twice Saturday -- with third-line wingers getting the goals to boot. The early scores by Kris Versteeg and Jack Skille subdued the sellout crowd of 18,277 at the Verizon Center. At least for a while, that is.
Lynn Sweet: Barack Obama and John McCain left the evil ghosts of their pasts, Bill Ayers and Charlie Keating, at home during their second presidential debate Tuesday night.

Bill Fink: "Used to say I'd rather eat dirt than go on a cruise," said Shawn Colvin from the stage of a Carnival cruise ship. "But I've never been so happy in my life!" Colvin had joined Lyle Lovett, Emmylou Harris and two dozen other artists in February for the inaugural six-day voyage of a Cayamo Singer Songwriter Cruise aboard Carnival Victory.

Cindy Pearlman: Days away from his "W." opening at the multiplex, director Oliver Stone is mulling over if and when the real commander-in-chief will see the biography Stone directed about his life. "I think in this present political state, the real George W. Bush might not approve of this movie," says Stone with a wry grin. "But this movie tries to understand George W. Bush — the good, the bad and the ugly."
President Bush and financial leaders from nations rich and poor pledged Saturday to intensify their efforts to unblock a frozen financial system before it does more damage to an increasingly shaky global economy. While there were no concrete offers of new moves, Bush vowed anew that his administration was doing everything possible to halt the biggest market disruptions since the Great Depression.
