...Daley is a proposal to reform Chicago's civil service system and thus wreck the giant patronage network that has maintained the Daley combine as one of the last of the oldtime machines. Ogilvie associates added to the mayor's woes last week by backing an insurgent Democrat who squeezed out a slender victory over a Daley regular in a Chicago aldermanic election...

Not at all. The Harts were simply learning what it is like to be a family receiving an Aid to Families with Dependent Children allowance (about 25? per person per meal). Mrs. Hart discovered that the family fare ran heavily to beans, cheap vegetables and bread, with an occasional tough old rooster for the stew pot. "I can see how people would just...
