Blurb: “INSIDE DALEY'S EMPIRE!
Fattened by power, fertilized by scandal, Richard J. Daley is the man who built the machine that has made Chicago "the city that works;" the man who pulls the strings-and the votes-at the Democratic National Convention. Rewarding friends, punishing enemies, kissing babies, stealing votes, muscling delegates -all the scratching, snarling particulars of Daley's rise to the top, and his continuing battle to stay there, are captured with a shrewd reporters eye by award-winning joumalist Len O'Connor.
From Daley's early ward-heeling days to the infamous 1968 Democratic convention to the latest hints of scandal-in-the making, CLOUT rips apart the astonishing career of the last of the Big City Bosses, to reveal just how Daley got there, how he stays there, and how he runs his town.
