Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : very good. First edition. First edition (stated). Hardcover. 255 pp. Illustrated with photos. Fine but with the small Randon House red stamp bottom edge of the text block. In very good dust jacket. Scarce. The inticate story of how the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper decided to expose corruption and bribery in Chicago city government by opening its own dive-bar establishment on the North Side ("The Mirage") and staffing it with undercover reporters. The book's authors and bar's "managers", Zay N. Smith ("Norty The Bartender") and Pamela Zekman (Pam The Barmaid"), didn't have to look for corruption--it found them in the form of City inspectors examining the bar's flagrant violations of health, fire, and safethy standards, who were always willing to "work things out unofficially" for a small fee; firemen who sat in the bar selling tickets to golf tournaments when they should have been on duty; accountants who openly bragged of their ability to skim up to 70% of the bar's profits without the governmrnt noticing. The investigation led to a 25-part serial story in the Sun-Times that was nominated and was the odds-on favorite for the Pulitzer until the award committee disqualified it over concerns that the fact the paper set up the whole sting and that the reporting was undercover. Nonetheless, the story made national headlines. N° de réf. du vendeur E29208
