And there's no telling when that training might come in handy, said Chicago firefighter Josh Daisy, a volunteer who is leading the training.

The first time I saw the film "Shakespeare in Love," I was fascinated by the inaugural performance of "Romeo and Juliet" at the fictional Rose Theatre.

The love story will have a happy ending. Instead, the message goes astray. Juliet wakes up to find Romeo has poisoned himself after finding her...
