"Fortunately, nothing can stop a book whose time has come. Mike Royko, Chicago's most incisive and impertinent journalist since Finley Peter Dunne, has produced such a work. It is an occasion for celebration...It is a stunning portrait of a clod, his resistable rise, and fortuitousness; of that psychic frontier where the man leaves off and the Machine begins.
