Novelist Saul Bellow, who was awarded a Nobel Prize in Literature, clutches two of his books as he appears at a press conference at the University of Chicago Oct. 21, 1976.  Bellow came to the University of Chicago in 1963 to join the English Department and the Committee on Social Thought.   Bellow was the fifth American to receive the Nobel award in 1976, an unprecedented clean sweep.  Bellow is holding his books, "Henderson the Rain King" of 1959, and "Humboldt's Gift" of 1975.

If nothing else, "Dancing With the Stars" has helped redefine "stars" for generations to come. "Stars" no longer has the same glamorous connotation it once did. Buzz Aldrin, for example. Not a star. A moon-going doubter-punching hero, yes. But a star? No. The question for fans:How can they make DWTS more interesting in its eleventh season? Atheist writers!

If she can dance. If she has to be hauled around like a sack of wet flout, then - well, no, that would be entertaining.

I have no idea who those last two people are. Well, google is there for a reason . . . oh. Okay. Cody was in "Hannah Montana," and Kyle was on "That's So Raven," and they both were on DTWS. Would kids tune in to see their favorite writers on the show? Only if they're interested in how writers dance, a subject that consistently tops the list of things People Don't Care About.

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
