  4. Billy Corgan's salon hopes to inspire conversation

    For an establishment called Madame ZuZu's, the host is pretty dressed down: no flowing silk robe or pointy painted fingernails. And even if Billy Corgan could qualify for madame-hood, he wouldn't be going for extravagance. At least not at 6 p.m. on a winterstruck Thursday, and not in a setting as casual as his new Highland Park tea shop.

Between the hits he took on the football field and the walloping he endured in professional wrestling, Nowinski knows first-hand the risks — and the underreported, often cavalierly dismissed incidents of brain injury — he experienced in the name of spectator combat.
