Welcome to TribU
Today we launch TribU, a new program that provides you information and resources to help you live a better life.
For longtime Plainfield residents, Aug. 28, 1990, is a touchstone, an indelible memory like where you were when the jets hit the World Trade Center or when Kennedy was shot. Three hundred people were injured and 29 were killed by the most powerful tornado ever to strike the Chicago area. Opposed to people keeping chimpanzees as pets, a Lincoln Park Zoo primatologist is trying to locate every chimp in North America and assess its level of care. Jeanne Rizzotto, left, was persuaded to give her pets to a chimp sanctuary. Former Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Michael Eisner is in discussions that could lead to his return to the media spotlight — as chairman of now-bankrupt Tribune Co. |
