Sue the T-Rex and a pair of African elephants had plenty of company Thursday night in the main exhibition hall at the Field Museum of Natural History on Chicago’s lakefront. More than a thousand journalists were ferried by bus from the Sheraton Chicago to the museum for the ONA14 opening night reception sponsored by Legacy.com and Tribune Content Agency.
