Summary: Royko's best collection
Comment: This is a very funny and thought-provoking collection of newspaper columns from Royko, Chicago's great everyman. Includes such classics as: how to cure a hangover; an amusing rebuttal to a threatening letter from Frank Sinatra; and the story of a guy who climbed onto a stopped flatbed freightcar in order to get to his commuter train, only to have the freight train start into motion and carry him almost all the way to Iowa.

Summary: The friendship between Mike Royko and Studs Terkel.
Comment: I rememeber when Mike Royko died Terry Gross of National Public Radio replayed an interview she did with Mike and he told a wonderful story about one of his best friends, Studs Terkel -- the man who wrote the Intro to this book.
As Mike tells it: it seems as though one day Studs was walking home and he was mugged. And the guy doing the mugging all of a sudden RECOGNIZES Studs Terkel! And Studs being an oral historian, par excellence, starts talking to the guy!
One could only imagine the inquisitiveness of someone like Studs Terkel. ... "Where are you from?" ... "How did you come to be a mugger?" ... "Could you describe the alienation that drove you to a life of crime?"
I can't remember if Mike said that Studs pulled out his ubiquitous tape recorder, but it must have been quite a moment.
Mike Royko and Studs Terkel -- two American originals! Two boats on the River of Redeeming Grace.

Summary: A pompous, thick-skinned, grumpy old man
Comment: What's not to love? I discovered Mike Royko's column when I was only nine years old (I was a precocious child), and enjoyed his columns even after I left the Chicago area. I think I snickered through every single one of these compiled columns. His biting satire and insider's view of the Second City kept me hooked for years. And I certainly applaud his dig on Rupert Murdoch. It takes courage to stand up to the Corporate Giant. My only question: he was only 69 when he died?? Good heavens, I thought this man was about 80!!
