Hacker’s trail of serial abuse began at a time before today’s interstate criminal background checks, before web-published sex offender registries and be- fore cultural awareness encour- aged sex abuse victims to speak out — factors that helped him elude scrutiny.

There’s no indication anyone in the school district knew about Hacker’s conviction in the neighboring state. While employed by CPS at two South Side elementary schools, Hacker also was con- victed twice for sexually abus- ing suburban boys he mentored through scouting and church activities — first in 1971 in Mount Prospect and then five years later in Oak Lawn.

EDITORIALS Deodorizing marijuana Legal marijuana stinks. We’re not talking about its merits as policy, an issue on which we are still weighing the evidence. We’re talking about olfactory realities that may not have been fully considered in the debate over how to regulate the production and use of cannabis. Burning joints have a pungent aroma, as anyone strolling through the Loop or many other neighborhoods is occasionally reminded. If the residents of the apartment below yours are fond of weed, you may get frequent whiffs at odd hours. Those negative externalities, as economists call them, will probably grow more common where recreational pot is legalized, inviting more widespread use. But that’s just one part of the problem. You could, for example, live next door to a processing operation or cannabis farm, as some people find themselves doing. To hear them tell, the airborne aroma is sometimes enough to gag a buzzard.

“It’s as if a skunk, or multiple skunks, were living under our house,” Grace Guthrie, who lives near Sebastopol, Calif., told The New York Times. “It’s beyond anything you would imagine.” She and her husband sometimes wear respirators in self-defense.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING Mr. Trump’s overall approval rating in the Fox poll is 46 percent. His approval among Republican women is 93 percent — 8 points beyond his approval among GOP men. Repub- lican women outrun men in their support for Mr. Trump on virtually every issue Fox polled. ... When asked if 2018 had been a good year for them and their families, 72 percent of Republican women said it was. In fact, a fairly amazing 41 percent of Democratic men said 2018 had been a good year for them, as did 31 percent of Democratic women. Indeed, 35 percent of Democratic men are hopeful about the country’s direction. These guys must be the most deeply closeted class of people in America. Daniel Henninger, The Wall Street Journal

Speech is a claim upon the attention of another, a prayer or a demand to be heard; it is an argument, if nothing else, against indiffer- ence. ... But this seems too simple. Is it so clear that speech lifts one above personal motives? Per- haps speech is not reason but rationalization, the reasons giving effect to one’s motives by concealing them rather than transcending them. And what of the joke: “ ‘Shut up,’ he ex- plained.” Do not many arguments end in the attempt to silence the other side’s reasons? Isn’t this maneuver characteristic of political speech above all?

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Nothing is certain for 2020 Trump’s disregard for facts Just yesterday I submitted a letter to the editor in which I expressed my disgust for President Donald Trump’s frequent lying and casual disregard for the facts. Now I must ask except the uncertainty myself the obvious question: How could I be upset by his behavior, as if it were unexpect- ed? Throughout his business career, Trump has always been a con man, one who was willing to lie and/or twist the facts to his advantage. Nothing has changed. Nothing will ever change.

Chairman Lampert’s hedge fund offered $4.4 billion to keep retailer in business By Lauren Zumbach Chicago Tribune

By the end of the week, Sears STACEY WESCOTT/CHICAGO TRIBUNE Chairman Edward Lampert could find Paul Gossett out whether his push to keep the President of Jewel-Osco bankrupt retailer together and open for business still has a shot. Lampert’s hedge fund, ESL Invest- ments, said Friday that it’s prepared to pay $4.4 billion for many of the retailer’s remaining assets, including about 425 Sears and Kmart stores. Dec. 28 was the deadline for parties interested in acquir- ing Sears’ assets to submit bids. Transform Holdco, a new entity controlled by Lampert’s fund, said in a letter to Sears’ investment banker that it believes keeping the Hoffman Estates- based company in business is the best way to preserve up to 50,000 jobs and recover money the retailer owes. The letter, dated Dec. 28, was released Wednesday in a regulatory filing. If Sears doesn’t accept the $4.4 billion bid packaging many of the remaining ANTONIO PEREZ/CHICAGO TRIBUNE assets together, Transform Holdco said Bill Newlands JOSE M.

Michaela Christian lost a long battle with Wells Fargo in 2013 to save her Las Vegas home, a defeat she says changed the course of her life. When the bank refused to modify her mortgage, Christian moved in with a friend and scrambled to rebuild her life. Five years later, Wells Fargo admits it made a mistake. Christian, 46, qualified for mortgage help that may have saved her home after all. It is a mistake the giant bank admits it made nearly 900 times over several years, pushing hundreds of distressed homeowners into foreclosure. Christian said when she learned of Wells Fargo’s error, “I was sick to my stomach.” “They destroyed me and destroyed my everything.” Wells Fargo’s admission is part of a cascade of lapses that increased scrutiny of the San Francisco-based bank, with some Demo- crats in Congress calling for the ouster of its CEO, Tim Sloan. Over the last JOE BUGLEWICZ/FOR THE WASHINGTON POST two years, the bank paid Michaela Christian, now living in Arizona, had to sell her Vegas home when Wells Fargo denied her mortgage help it later admitted she was qualified for. more than $1 billion in fines after admitting it error began in 2010 and tional Consumer Law Cen- 7 percent mortgage inter- and then into an apart- she had already accumulat- opened millions of bogus was not corrected until last ter. est rate to the prevailing ment. ed about $30,000 in equity, accounts customers didn’t April, the bank said.

BEARS InjuredBEARS NOTES Jackson ‘day by day’

Misses practice, but Robinson, Miller, Gabriel participate fully

By Rich Campbell and Brad Biggs Chicago Tribune

Bears Pro Bowl free safety Eddie Jackson did not practice Wednesday after coach Matt Nagy said earlier in the day Jackson would test his sprained right ankle. Nagy spoke to media before practice and is not scheduled to update reporters again until late Thursday morning. “It’s one of those deals where I’ve got to make sure what he’s telling us and where he’s at physically,” Nagy said. “We’ll test it today and see where he’s at. And then kind of get an idea, practice-wise or whatnot, and go day by day with it. “If he’s in a good spot and he can go, then we’ll do that. If he’s not, then we’ll have to make that decision.” It’s possible the Bears held out Jackson because they practiced outdoors Wednes- day on a wet natural-grass field at Halas Hall. Light snow fell during the portion of practice open to media. Jackson has expressed optimism he’ll be able to play against the Eagles on Sunday in the wild-card round. He hasn’t played since Dec. 16, when he sprained his right ankle returning an interception of Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Jackson has six interceptions, one fum- ble recovery and three this season. His ability to play at full speed is crucial to the Bears’ ability to cover Eagles tight ends , a two-time Pro Bowler, and rookie Dallas Goedert. Meanwhile, all three injured Bears re- ceivers returned to practice. Allen Robinson (ribs), rookie Anthony Miller (left shoulder) and Taylor Gabriel (ribs) fully participated.

East might have precisely the jack doubleton of spades and a heart void, or East could be 1-1 in the majors — far more likely. The winning sequence in that case was to lead a heart to dummy’s ace, cash the queen of spades and lead a spade to the ace. Then ruff a spade, ruff a diamond, ruff a spade, and ruff another diamond. The king and queen of hearts would draw the trumps and the king of spades would be the 12th trick. East was also lazy. There was no point in trying to cash a diamond. Where could South’s diamonds go? A third club would force South to ruff high and leave him with no chance for 11 tricks.
