Book Only in Chicago

Download or read book Only in Chicago written by Natasha Korecki and published by Agate Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As the circus of the Blagojevich saga unfolded, Natasha Korecki was right at the center.... It was a seriocomedy suited to her enterprise and imagination, and she’s the one to write the book." —Roger Ebert "Natasha Korecki's chronicle of the Blagojevich saga was a cutting-edge lesson in how to blend old-fashioned reporting with new media." —Richard Roeper Chicago, Illinois, and America at large were captivated by the arrest, trial, and general public embarrassment of Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich. Only in Chicago is derived from the best of award-winning Chicago Sun-Times reporter Natasha Korecki's work on the Blagojevich scandal, weaving together years of reporting and never-before published details into one straightforward, fast-paced narrative. From the infamous audiotapes to Blagojevich's strange public relations campaign, this is one of the most bizarre true political tales ever told. Beyond the slew of backroom dealmakers who were sucked into the Blagojevich imbroglio, President Barack Obama himself--while never accused of any wrongdoing--was also interviewed by federal prosecutors. Now-mayor Rahm Emanuel's discussions with Blagojevich are included as well. The political figure who became most entangled with the scandal, however, was Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., who is accused of offering Blagojevich $6 million for Obama's vacated Senate seat through an intermediary.

Download or read book Taste of the Nation written by Camille Bégin and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Depression, the Federal Writers' Project (FWP) dispatched scribes to sample the fare at group eating events like church dinners, political barbecues, and clambakes. Its America Eats project sought nothing less than to sample, and report upon, the tremendous range of foods eaten across the United States. Camille Begin shapes a cultural and sensory history of New Deal-era eating from the FWP archives. From "ravioli, the diminutive derbies of pastries, the crowns stuffed with a well-seasoned paste" to barbeque seasoning that integrated "salt, black pepper, dried red chili powder, garlic, oregano, cumin seed, and cayenne pepper" while "tomatoes, green chili peppers, onions, and olive oil made up the sauce", Begin describes in mouth-watering detail how Americans tasted their food. They did so in ways that varied, and varied widely, depending on race, ethnicity, class, and region. Begin explores how likes and dislikes, cravings and disgust operated within local sensory economies that she culls from the FWP’s vivid descriptions, visual cues, culinary expectations, recipes and accounts of restaurant meals. She illustrates how nostalgia, prescriptive gender ideals, and racial stereotypes shaped how the FWP was able to frame regional food cultures as "American."

Download or read book Illinois and the Nation written by Oliver R. Trowbridge and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illinois and the Nation: A Practical Treatise on State and National Civics The State of Illinois expends many millions of dollars annually for educational purposes in order that her schools may prepare their pupils for good citizenship. In these days it 'is not enough that our youths become honest, industrious, and law-abiding citizens. They must be educated in the elementary principles and practical workings of our republican form of government. Igno rance in regard to these matters is far too prevalent among our people. New questions, such as concern the civil service, direct legislation, proportional representa tion, and kindred subjects constantly rise and must be met in a practical way. Unless the people understand the present machinery of our government, they can judge neither of its merits and demerits, nor of those of any proposed alteration. This book was written in the hope of promoting the study of the governments of Illinois and the nation, and of hastening the time when Civil Government, or Civics, should be added to the list of required studies for our common schools. This hope, first expressed by the author in 1887, has been realized in the amendment to our school laws in 1905 making Civics and the History of Illinois common school studies.
