When you consider the case of Fatty Arbuckle and the circumstances surrounding the facts, you get a good idea of what the combination of a hysterical media and yellow journalism can lead up to.
I guess you could say that Roscoe Conkling Arbuckle was destined to acquire the nickname “Fatty”. After all, when he born in Smith Center, Kansas on March 24, 1887, he weighed in at 14 pounds. It wasn’t too long before the local kids took notice of his girth and bestowed upon him the name he would carry for the rest of his life. His family, always poor, often had to live on the move in order to survive and “Fatty” took on a number off odd jobs to help them try and make ends meet. One of those odd jobs led to the events that would change his life forever.

The DePaulia

Richard Driehaus, a DePaul alumni whose giving spirit led the university to rename its business school in his honor, died Tuesday at 78, the university confirmed Wednesday.
“Richard was an inspirational member of the DePaul University community who devoted so much of his life’s focus to the university and our students,” DePaul President A. Gabriel Esteban said in a statement. “His was the quintessential DePaul story – a son of the South Side of Chicago who learned the value of work early as a newspaper delivery boy.”
Driehaus was born in Chicago and earned both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business from DePaul in 1965 and 1970, respectively. Upon graduation, he worked in institutional trading at A.G. Becker before founding Driehaus Capital Management LLC in 1982, the Chicago Tribune reported.
