it doesn't take a lot to remind me that chicago is a center of confrontational politics. i will always remember that morton blackwell told students at the leadership institute to read saul alinsky's "rules for radicals." blackwell's purpose was not only to provide insight into the liberal mind (which we would argue about) but to demonstrate the kind of tactics that he believed conservatives needed to fight. careful observers would recognize many of the his tactics as reactions to what one finds in alinsky's works.
