Description: With the incisive pen of a newspaperman and the compassionate soul of a poet, Mike Royko was a Chicago institution who wrote a daily column for nearly thirty-five years - first for the Chicago Daily News, then the Sun-Times, and finally the Tribune - and his Pulitzer Prize-winning commentary was syndicated in more the 600 newspapers nationwide. Pretension and hypocrisy were his targets, and his well-aimed salvos, delivered with blunt honesty and penetrating wit, won him fans and foes alike. One More Time collects the best of Royko's columns from his long, celebrated career. Culled from 7500 columns and spanning four decades, from his early days to his last dispatch, the writings in this collection reflect a radically changing America as seen by a man whose keen sense of justice and humor never faltered. From the Cold War to the Persian Gulf War, from Richard J. Daley to Richard M. Daley, Royko trained his eye on it all.
