...midyears are bothering you; here is the cure. You now have an excellent excuse for slipping away for a few hours. If midyears aren't bothering you, you have no excuse for not seeing and judging Mary Dugan and her troubles before something starts troubling...
Chicago, often casually termed the "worst governed city in the world,'' approached, last week, another major cure experiment. Coming to a head was a plan for a businessman's administration.
