The greatest newspaper columnist there ever was. Period. This book is a dream come true; 4500 pages of Royko. It is just remarkable how great he was every day. If you want to understand Chicago, this is where you start. I've give this 20 stars if they would let me. The greatest newspaper columnist there ever was. Period.
