  1. Review: "Power to the People" edited by Geoff Kaplan

    One of Chicago's treasures is the microfilm archive of alternative newspapers housed in Harold Washington Library. I'm particularly fond of exploring the Seed, the Chicago periodical that helped Mayor Richard J. Daley's less loyal subjects prepare for the 1968 Democratic National Convention.

Seeing the magnificent Seed covers reprinted in full-color glory in Geoff Kaplan's coffee-table book "Power to the People" was eye-opening (literally — my eyes actually widened).
