Dick Ciccone is one of the members of Milts Political A-Team. Hes also a decorated war veteran, a college professor, a fantastic author, journalist and newsman, and a helluva golfer. He spent decades in the business, including as managing editor of the Chicago Tribune. Hes one of the most fascinating people to ever have appeared on the program, with a sublime understanding of Chicago, words, and the political landscape of America. We realized that we hadnt yet delved into the mind of Dick Ciccone, and it was high time that we did it. What emerged was a truly remarkable look into the evolution of the newspaper business, journalism, and American politics. Were most grateful to have had Dick Ciccone as a resource for this program in its various iterations. He is a friend, and a great American.
