...came the so-called Boston Massacre, possibly instigated by Samuel Adams, and Hancock headed the citizens' committee that persuaded Acting Governor Thomas Hutchinson to remove most troops from Boston. Yet in 1772 Hancock was made captain of the Independent Company of Cadets, also known as the "Governor's Own." He outfitted himself and his men with bright new uniforms, and he liked to appear on horseback at the head of his troop on the King's birthday. Then, on the fourth anniversary of the Boston Massacre, he publicly denounced the British with Ciceronian fervor: "Ye dark, designing...
...Jordan called his staff together for a meeting. The group around the table looked awfully young, but they were tossing around big names: Mayor Abe Beame was aboard, one said, and that would help with the Jewish voters, and Chicago's Dick Daley was issuing compliments.
