  3. His wit was hard-boiled

    WE think we know Damon Runyon, and we might think we're pretty jaded about him, but a fat new anthology, <b>" 'Guys and Dolls' and Other Writings" </b>(Penguin: 636 pp., $18 paper), introduced by <b>Pete Hamill </b>and edited and annotated by Cornell professor <b>Daniel R. Schwarz</b>, makes us see afresh a writer whose hard-bitten and ironic point of view prefigures the fictional worlds of "The Godfather" and "The Sopranos."

  19. Culture clash: New history of Chicago taps into our malaise
