He's a neighbor of Senators Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Fred Thompson in a downtown condo and visits his wife and two daughters in Chicago on weekends. Unlike some others in the Administration, Daley likes to throw on a tux and socialize with the Washington establishment. A colleague recalls Daley's sunny disposition failing him only once, when...
