505 0  Foreword / John Kass -- Introduction / David Royko -- The 
       curmudgeon at work and play -- For better or worse, we all
       gotta eat -- Guns and crime and cops -- The beleaguered 
       little guy's best friend -- Sports and the creatures who 
       do it -- Politics and the creatures who play it -- Music,

       meet the family, her father probably won't bite -- Sonny, 
       back in my day... -- Ain't too proud to beg -- War: been 
       there, done that, seen it, hate it -- The funniest guy in

520    Royko was a part of the daily fabric of Chicagoans' lives 
       for more than 30, penning often humorous and always honest
       columns first for the Chicago Daily News, then the Sun-
       Times, and finally the Tribune. Culled from thousands of 
       his Tribune columns and edited by his son David Royko, 
       this collection offers his blunt observations from his 
       archive at the Tribune, from 1984 until his death in 1997.
       Some may seem dated-- but others are surprisingly relevant
       today. -- adapted from jacket
