the children of ethnics who fled integration in the 1960s are returning from white suburbs to live in some of the same neighborhoods where their grandparents did, only now they're made up less of immigrants from Poland and Mexico than of young professionals from Northbrook and River Forest.

"Whole streets flipped from white to black, almost overnight," Casey-Leininger said. "Real estate practices of the day were largely unscrupulous."

One method was known as "blockbusting," when an agent or lender would start a rumor that a black family was moving onto a street, that whites were moving out and homeowners should sell to avoid plummeting property value. Real estate listings in The Enquirer in 1954 advertised homes for sale in Avondale as "Colored Man's Dream" and "Unrestricted."

One day I'm sure everyone will routinely collect all sorts of data about themselves. But because I've been interested in data for a very long time, I started doing this long ago. I actually assumed lots of other people were doing it too, but apparently they were not. And so now I have what is probably one of the world's largest collections of personal data.

Falling oil consumption is rare and, in the absence of recession, almost unprecedented. In fact, the United States has only experienced declining oil consumption without an accompanying recession once -- during a 12-month period from 1980 to 1981. In every other instance -- 1973, 1979, 1981, 1990, 2001, and 2008 -- a fall in oil use has gone hand in hand with recession. And, in each case but 2001, rising oil prices were implicated as a cause of the economic slowdown.

It's reasonable to conclude that speculators are also playing a key role in the current oil-price run-up, in addition to the sabre-rattling over Iran and other geopolitical and economic factors. A study by none other than Goldman Sachs has found that each million barrels' worth of speculation adds 10 cents to every barrel of oil. There were about 233.9 million crude oil contracts that were the subject of speculation as of Feb. 28. Thus speculation added $23.39 to the price of a $108 barrel of oil, which translates to 56 cents a gallon at the pump. Without speculation, Forbes writer Bob Lenzner notes, a barrel of oil would have cost as little as $74.61, and the cost of fuel would have been $3.12 a gallon on Feb. 28, and not the price it was actually commanding in the northeastern U.S.: $3.68.
