...trouble began last September, when it was revealed that Edward Hanrahan, state's attorney in Cook County, had been indicted by a special grand jury. He was charged with trying to prevent an honest investigation of the police raid on a Black Panther apartment in 1969 that resulted in the death of two blacks.* At first, Daley was willing to overlook his loyal protege's indiscretion; Hanrahan was on the 1972 slate of Democratic candidates proclaimed by Daley early in December.

In 1929, Little left Ann Arbor for Bar Harbor, where...

...formidable cook, he investigated the properties and uses of all manner of food, and his reports of them are still considered authoritative. But thanks to a faultless sense of pace, his scholarship never becomes oppressive. A chapter on definitions is followed by anecdotes about prodigies of consumption -including an account of a general who downed eight bottles of wine with breakfast, but who won Brillat-Savarin's admiration because he did it "with an air of not touching them...
