...true, even if they never really happened," is a much more convincing conclusion to a book that takes both the full character and the existence of the outside world into account. The Chief learns to assert himself on stage, too, but only inside the four walls of the ward, and not within the confines of his mind. Stepping through the window, he would merely end up back-stage, not on the road back to normal life. He would not be able to fly over the cuckoo's nest...

He won national attention four years ago as the author of the report that blamed "police riots" for a share of the disorders surrounding the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago.

The daintily etched grease smears...
Channel 5's miscalculation was as close as Hicks and her Irish pols got to victory. Although the final tally showed Hicks a loser by only 2000 votes, the congresswoman suffered devastating defeats in the black wards, and secured only a modest 2500-vote margin in Ward 7--her home precinct...
