...Bonfire of Discontent" in THE NATION last week. In addition to such continuing treatment of the subject, we have had seven cover stories on America's cities in the last four years. They have dealt with progress as well as problems-for example, Mayor Richard Daley and the development of Chicago (March 15, 1963), City Planner Edmund Bacon and his achievement in Philadelphia (Nov. 6, 1964), and Mayor John Lindsay's approach to the troubles and delights of New York...
...postpone the march through Cicero-at least until the Chicago leadership had had a chance to demonstrate its good intent with action. "We've come a long, long way," he said. "We've crossed the Red Sea right here in Chicago." Chicago's Mayor Richard Daley agreed that it was a "historic...
After the third night, Democratic Mayor Daley, who had dismissed Tues day's violence as a "juvenile incident," requested mobilization of the National Guard. On Friday, 4,000 men of the 33rd Infantry Division, armed with bayoneted rifles, machine guns and tear gas, took up positions in and around the riot zone.

Daley later charged that workers on King's staff were in large measure responsible for the violence. (Subsequently he withdrew the accusation.) At week's end the mayor belatedly announced that...
Royko pummels Mayor Daley more than anybody else ("The greatest public-works director in the country; he just doesn't dig people"). But he has as much fun flattening lesser dignitaries. When he took out after Fire Commissioner Robert Quinn, Royko wrote: "Remember, back in 1959 Quinn was the person who put Chicago under its first atomic alert. He blew all the air raid sirens late one night because he got a kick out of the White Sox clinching a pennant. And anyone who can talk his way out of sending people into the streets in their shorts...
