That's your humble correspondent guarding the Lake Michigan shore last Sunday--there were rumors that Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dorhn had chartered a flotilla and were planning an assault on the site of the former Fort Sheridan in Highwood, Illinois. On a serious note, Fort Sheridan closed in 1993. Since then, the many of the base's historic buildings have been converted into luxury homes. The Lake County Forest Preserve district owns much of the rest of the once-bustling post, including the spot I'm standing on in the picture.
