The idea for this story came into my imagination from reflections on the two Mayors Daley, neither one of whom have ever engaged in negative campaigns. “You can’t do that to people’s kids,” the first Mayor insisted. Both men were/are by character and conviction and maybe genes incapable of attacking other candidates. It seemed to me that this trait could well be imitated by all political candidates. Hence the story is dedicated to them. As the late mayor said, “You can’t do that to people’s kids.”
