  Tribune Tower - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tribune Tower is a Gothic building located at 435 North Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois.
Saarinen's tower, which anticipated the coming impact of stripped-down, honest modernism on building form, was preferred by critics like the great Louis Sullivan, and was a strong influence on the next generation of skyscrapers — including Raymond Hood's own subsequent work on the McGraw-Hill Building and Rockefeller Center.
Other Tribune tower entries by figures like Walter Gropius, Bertram Goodhue, Bruno Taut, Adolf Loos remain intriguing suggestions of what might have been, but perhaps not as intriguing as the one surmounted by Rushmore-like head of an American Indian.

 Chicago Tribune - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chicago Tribune, formerly self-styled as the "World's Greatest Newspaper", remains the principal daily newspaper of the midwestern United States and one of the ten largest daily newspapers in the nation.
The Tribune's reputation for innovation extended to radio — it bought an early station, WDAP, in 1924 and renamed it WGN (AM), the station call letters standing for the paper's self-description as the "World's Greatest Newspaper." WGN Television was launched April 5, 1948.
In 2004, the Tribune endorsed President Bush for re-election, a decision at odds with the paper's reporting but consistent with its unwaivering support for the Republican Party (it has not endorsed a Democrat for President since 1872, when it backed Horace Greeley).
