[Mikey Royko 11 @APRoyko11]

...the timing of the report had been arranged by (Daley). It gave him an excuse to stay home that day...#tyrant

"Someone asked me...would you do over what you did in August?...I said '...I'd do the same thing, only with greater effort.'" #tyrant

Daley himself had said, more than once, that Chicago wasn't segregated. #visionary

[Mikey Royko 11 @APRoyko11]

Daley rejected...a street that would span both with and black neighborhoods. #tyrant

[Mikey Royko 11 @APRoyko11]

.the blacks were going through the same...process of all other ethnic groups..waiting for their chance to move up the American ladder#tyrant

[Mikey Royko 11 @APRoyko11]

His machine, threatened... by liberals, independents, and blacks, had been tightened and was again running smoothly #Machine

[Mikey Royko 11 @APRoyko11]

because the killing.. and routine brutality toward blacks was not offense to most of the city's white voters. #RoykoRant

[Mikey Royko 11 @APRoyko11]

Yet, Daley was capable of putting an unqualified man in charge #Tyrant

[Mikey Royko 11 @APRoyko11]

...the man from Bridgeport, this family man, this hard-working, misunderstood man... stoically endured in silence. #Visionary

[Mikey Royko 11 @APRoyko11]

But the action developing on the streets was making him more memorable as a head breaker than as a king maker. #Tyrant

[Mikey Royko 11 @APRoyko11]

[Daley] had put everything and everyone in their proper places. #RoykoRant

[Mikey Royko 11 @APRoyko11]

Daley, who shared the police's distrust of reporters, supported the attacks by claiming that they were ... no fault of the police. #Tyrant

[Mikey Royko 11 @APRoyko11]

"John, this is Mayor Daley. I'm not calling to gloat. You ran a decent campaign, John, and I know how it feels to lose." #RoykoRant

[Mikey Royko 11 @APRoyko11]

If problems arose, Dawson or one of his men were consulted. They were his straw bosses, harvesting the rich black vote for him. #Tyrant

[Mikey Royko 11 @APRoyko11]

His machine, threatened...by revolt of liberals, independents, and blacks...he had disabled them with one smooth gesture #tyrant&machine
