	Dead Rebel Society - Mike Royko
		Mike Royko may have been working-class and plain-spoken to the core, but that didn’t preclude him from having keener insight into the nature of rulers and carpetbaggers than most.
		The son of an immigrant tavern-owner and washerwoman, Royko initially scoffed at the suggestion; he didn’t think sitting around mouthing off his opinions counted as an actual job. Nonetheless, he tried it out and began with a weekly political column for the Daily News.
		Royko made the most of his column, liberally garnishing his observations of everything from the Cuban Missile Crisis to Iran-Contra to the William Kennedy Smith rape trial with deadpan wit and a regular cast of "characters" he kept around to help spice things up with their off-the-wall observations.

		The world that Mike Royko wrote about in his daily newspaper columns for the big three Chicago newspapers was one in which newspapermen were allowed to imbibe heavily, hit on spirited women, and spill a few drinks in the process.
		In Royko's last column for the Daily News, as it was printing it's last issue twenty years ago, he blamed the paper's decline on the fact that they reported the truth about the Democratic Party's political convention of 1968.

		Moe pussyfoots around subjects like Royko's ''complicated relationship with alcohol.'' Yet he does not gloss over the final years of Royko's career, when he had lost some of his punch and precision.
