For the end of March we're posting some links to an interesting take on bracket fever. The first link is to Sun-Times reporter Mike Thomas' article where he invited two noted Chicago historians (Tim Samuelson and Ann Durkin Keating) to chose thirty-two people, places or events, match them against each other and then pick the winner of each. It's the big dance through Chicago history!
The second link is to Chicago Public Radio's Eight Forty-Eight website, where you can listen to a special broadcast of Tim Samuelson and Ann Durkin Keating talking through several of their picks with host Steve Edwards. Will the Great Chicago Fire beat out the Skyscraper? Will Al Capone rub-out Michael Jordan? Is Frank Lloyd Wright more influential than Ludwig Mies van der Rohe? If only basketball was this exciting!
