 J. H. Huebert: Open Fire on Chicago's Gun Law
Chicago men wear similar signs (“Rob Me,”etc.), but the city’s gun law discriminates against women, because they are generally less physically able of warding off an attacker and uniquely subject to the threat of rape.
As long as Chicago’s law is on the books, nothing can remove the “Rape Me” sign, but at least the people John Birch helps will have a fighting chance against their assailants.
Georges and others are still nervous about guns, maybe they should just go to the gun range like I did, and see for themselves that a gun, in the hands of a law-abiding citizen, is nothing to fear.

 The University of Chicago Magazine: June 2001, Campus News
The Chicago Maroon was the nation's first campus newspaper to run David Horowitz's controversial anti-slavery-reparations ad.
By the time Horowitz made a May 7 pit stop at Chicago on a tour of colleges, U of C students found themselves divided over the same issue at debate elsewhere: the state of free speech at colleges.
What inspired him, Horowitz told her, was a 46-to-1 vote last year by the Chicago City Council in favor of reparations and a "ridiculous" apology for slavery issued by Mayor Richard M. Daley.

Two Chicago art movements long at odds have finally dug in for trench warfare, and we all get to watch.
Chicago, a city long plagued by a real inferiority complex, has always felt it has needed a style of its own to counter New York and L.A. Never mind the fact that neither New York nor L.A. have a style of their own.
