That became evident last week when Chicagoans, responding to worldwide criticism of Daley and his cops' tough tactics, reacted as if they had been under personal attack. When Daley returned to his modest brick bungalow in the Bridgeport section of the South Side, 800 admirers greeted him with cheers and signs: HOORAY FOR DALEY and PRIDE OF THE U.S.-CHICAGO POLICE.

This month the Amoskeag will begin to fall to the wrecker's ball. Ninety of the complex's buildings will be replaced with parking lots, and the moss-hung, mirror-clear canals...
...Over the century of Amoskeag's existence, the architectural integrity of the original plan was preserved. When new buildings rose to make room for the cotton gins, spinning machines and semiautomatic looms that were among the first mass-production machinery developed, they echoed the plain, geometric brick facades, capped by prim towers, of the original. So it remained until urban renewal plans were formulated...
