Pulitzer Prize recipient Mike Royco was the Chicago Sun-Times's #1 columnist. He could be found any weekday on page 3 upper left first column. His beat was, in the best tradition of the "City with the Big Shoulders", to succor: the little man; the blue collar worker; and was principal upholder of the downtrodden, etc. Mike did not have big muscles, according to him, and he did not use big words where a small one would do. He wrote in the cadence of the 2nd generation immigrant and oh! he used humor to soften his soapbox diatribes. Often, his humor was laugh-out-loud poke fun at the joke, why don't we? Slats all by himself was good for a millon jokes and the rest of Chicago was good for the rest of the stories.
City Hall's time-honored graft and "da fix" kept workers for the city primed and stoked. Why, that beat had to have put Mike's grandmother through kindergarten, and the rest of us in stitches.
Reading him again makes me realize his humor is as funny now as I remember it from years past. This is a very funny book!
