IObamaN, the Chicago Reader has a collection of stories from their archives, including a profile from 1995, when he was running for his first state senate seat. That 1995 profile is interesting--it mentions the Annenberg project in passing (the one where he met Ayers), as well as his work with ACORN.
The picture on Gothamist.com is good, too.

One of the attorneys has an EMT brother on his way to the scene. It's just amazing. Those pilots? Big Damn Heroes.
Thank goodness for skillful piloting, and quick rescue efforts.
I was just reading a short article about how there have been no fatal big plane crashes in the US in 7 or so years, so maybe the streak is continuing!

I will never scoff at the emergency slides again!
