We also get interviews from the Harvard employees involved in the strike and news coverage of the event.

  Image Union, episode 0608

  Chicago, Chicago Politics, Harold Washington, Image Union, NHPRC, Politics, Studs Terkel, Viewers Choice

  Mayoral Commercials by Lynn Sweet. This tape collects many of the political ads from the 1983 race for mayor of Chicago. The ads are shown in approximately consecutive order. First there are the ads for the Democratic primary race between Jane Byrne, Richard M. Daley, and Harold Washington, followed by ads from the general election between Harold Washington and Bernard Epton. Many of the ads are smears, so it is interesting to see them in close succession responding to each other. Includes ad featuring Studs Terkel for Washington.
