A friend visiting us from Chicago brought us a copy of a recent issue of the Chicago Reader with interesting pieces on Obama. Here's one I found informative, published in Dec. 1995:
http://www.chicagoreader.com/obama_reader/what_makes_obama_run/ This other one, a retrospective, testifies to Obama's tactical prowess in avoiding a frontal clash with Daley's political machine without succumbing to its seduction: http://www.chicagoreader.com/obama_reader/rising_star/ These two other pieces are also informative, one an interview with Axelro, the other on Rahm Emanuel's self-reinvention to get elected representative: http://www.chicagoreader.com/obama_reader/david_axelrod/ http://www.chicagoreader.com/obama_reader/rahm_emanuel/ The issue has other stories, but I haven't read them yet. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
