RedditSTUDS'S KIND OF TOWN
We join the city of Chicago in congratulating our friend and colleague Studs Terkel on his ninetieth birthday. By mayoral proclamation, May 16 was Studs Terkel Day, and there was a star-spangled celebration at the Historical Society. Given Studs's gift for talking--and listening--the Windy City was the right place for him to grow up. He's a man of many words--gales of eloquent ones on TV, radio, in books, speeches. His oral history books, including, most recently, Will the Circle Be Unbroken? (New Press), stitch together a great patchwork quilt of hundreds of American lives. Hail to our national griot with a tape recorder.
