Summary

"For more than 30 years, Mike Royko was a part of the daily fabric of Chicagoans' lives, penning often humorous and always honest columns first for the Chicago Daily News, then the Sun-Times, and finally the Tribune. Culled from thousands of his Tribune columns and edited by his son David Royko, this collection offers up his best material from the last stage in his career, which was cut short by his premature death in 1997." -- Amazon.comRoyko was a part of the daily fabric of Chicagoans' lives for more than 30, penning often humorous and always honest columns first for the Chicago Daily News, then the Sun-Times, and finally the Tribune. Culled from thousands of his Tribune columns and edited by his son David Royko, this collection offers his blunt observations from his archive at the Tribune, from 1984 until his death in 1997. Some may seem dated-- but others are surprisingly relevant today. -- adapted from jacket
