CG 77~22636 - NEWSPAPER MORGUE On March 23, 1979, the files of the Editorial Department Information Center, “The Chicago Tribune", a daily newspaper at 435 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, revealed numerous clippings from 1959 to 1979, mentioning applicant's name. These clippings most commonly mentioned some action being taken or considered by either the Illinois legislature or U.S. Congress and then mentioned that applicant is a representative. Occasionally, the article would mention that applicant supported some legislation. Frequently, the applicant was mentioned as supporting some kind of gun control law, public financing of congressional elections, an intern program for high school students so they could learn about government, the National Energy Act and Revenue Act of 1978. A number of articles comment on the various close elections in which applicant has been a candidate. There are human interest articles; for instance, how the appli- cant and his wife live separate lives together and the derivation of the Mikva name from an old Hebrew word. The applicant originally ran for office as a political independent and was opposed by the late Mayor Richard Daley, who came to admire the applicant as his neighbor (in their summer homes in Michigan). -104-
