« Saturday Layover in Chicago: An honor. This is one mean, wonderful hardworking town. | Main | Tom Doctoroff in WSJ on China now: Increasingly international--but distinctly Chinese. »

Born in Chicago.

Fierce as a dog with tongue lapping for action, cunning as a savage pitted against the wilderness,
Bareheaded,
Shoveling,
Wrecking,
Planning,
Building, breaking, rebuilding,
Under the smoke, dust all over his mouth, laughing with white teeth.

--from Carl Sandburg's "Chicago"
