[lbo-talk] Other pieces of the complex picture

[Julio Huato]

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:

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:

These two other pieces are also informative, one an interview with
Axelro, the other on Rahm Emanuel's self-reinvention to get elected
representative:

The issue has other stories, but I haven't read them yet.
