...waving it plenty every morning. You will find me ready, hard-hitting with truth and justice." In a full-page, flag-bedecked newspaper ad, Miller pledged his allegiance to the Stars and Stripes, the President, servicemen, policemen and firemen. Miller's No. 1 fan, Mayor Richard Daley, delivered a testimonial on the air, and congratulatory telegrams and flowers poured into the station. More important, listeners began tuning in: since Miller made his debut in October, WCFL's morning ratings have jumped from ninth place to second in the fiercely competitive 24-station Chicago market.

Yippie goings-on during the Democratic Convention in Chicago brought the movement prominence far beyond its numbers ("From four to 200,000, depending on the weather," according to Hoffman); the clubs of Dick Daley's cops, used indiscriminately on yippies, newsmen and bystanders, even won it some measure of sympathy.
