Title: Snapshot of a bygone era
Review: Yup, I too was alive and kicking during most of The Mayor's reign, and I have to agree, it's got the ring of truth to it. I haven't read such an intriguing documentary-style book since I read Boss. Civics classes AND journalism classes should be required to read this. Royko succeeds in taking a verbal still-life of Chicago during the Boss's tenure.This is right up there with Caro's "The Power Broker" What's really wild is that I read this book right after I read "The Godfather" and both of the titular characters operated in much the same way!
