In the first in an occasional series on poverty and segregation in Chicago's schools, Steve Bogira explores how, having failed at desegregation, the city has tried instead to provide quality education in poor, racially isolated schools, which hasn’t worked either. In their columns, Michael Miner writes about a different direction for WBEZ—one with more listener-generated content and fewer paid contributors—and Ben Joravsky elucidates the madness behind Mayor Emanuel's methods. In Food & Drink, vegetarian fine dining rookie Kevin Warwick sees if he can hang with Next's vegan menu, and this week's Cocktail Challenge finds Barrelhouse Flat bartender Mark Brinker working with sriracha. And on the B Side, Peter Margasak examines a new box set that gives experimental composer David Tudor his due.
