    Bashing Chicago Traditions: Harold Washington's Last Campaign
    by Melvin G. Holli and Paul M. Green
    Chicago politics are vitalized in this acount of Chicago's mayoral elections of 1983 and 1987. The actual effects of Mayor Washington's term are not very clear, and the book is made even more confusing by the bizzare, and definitely not chronolical, order of topics. To read this book, a map of the wards and precincts would be very helpful, but the book does not provide one with its many pictures and charts. Harold Wahington himself is portrayed rather well, but hsi portrait is not complete. I did find two interesting words in this book that I had not known; probity means honesty and uprightness, and doyen is a male political director.
    Happy reading
