richly detailed, visual road map of Chicago as viewed from the

mayor, the cityas first non-Irish mayor since 1933, and finally,
the Daley adouble, a Richard J. and Richard M. Witness the
excitement as City Hall rolls out the welcome wagon for traveling
kings and queens, dignitaries, and counts, as well as figures of
great historic import, including Queen Elizabeth, Princess Diana,
Mikhail Gorbachev, Bishop Tutu, and Frank Sinatra. View rare scenes
of the abuildera mayor tradition and the construction of such
architectural triumphs as the Sears Tower, which was then the
worldas-tallest building. With over 200 photographs
accompanied by informative captions, this volume highlights a
variety of Chicagoas ethnic festivals, parades, and political
campaigns, skillfully bringing each scene to life.
