        Ah yes. But be sure to publish Mike’s rebuttal. What great fun we had watching them spar. Loved them both.

        Funniest part to me as a Chicagoan, Sinatra CCs Mayor Daley, when it was clear to even the most causal observer that Daley had no ability to shut up Mike Royko!pic.twitter.com/4iN6bRcq93

        Sinatra was indeed one of the coolest men of his era but he had such thin skin — you’ve been one of the most famous people in the world since you were a kid, you waste your time writing to a newspaper? He’d be on Twitter picking fights with random people

        Sinatra was the most bi-polar person in America. Generous,sweet and loving on one hand...and in a flash a murderous, thug. Read Dominick Dunne and his valet/butler's book for insight into it.

        Try writing that rebuttal today in 280 characters. He could have saved time with Instagram with a picture of him holding up his middle finger. Great letter and how I miss the good old days.
