Ah, Heavenston. Today I went to one of the top floors of Bank One (tallest building in town) to take pictures of this dysfunctional city.

And we had another workshop with The Daily's editor-in-chief. Here are some random things the EIC said:

"When I first visited Northwestern, they showed me the nanofabrication center. I thought nano = small and fabric = clothes. Are they running a sweatshop in there?"

"My last name is Samuels so my first year I got on a lot of Jewish listservs."

On finding sources for stories: "It's like herbal tea or a bubble bath."

"The only sport I really know is figure skating."

On how he reacts to journalists who take out their notebooks while they're interviewing him: "I see your pad's out so I'm going to start using the word metaphor."

"I did a story about women who bleed heavily during menstruation. I said (to a source), 'How many tampons do you use in a month?' She looked at me and said about 45. No hesitation whatsoever."
