*Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago boys including those pictured above (we claim no affiliation), and others who helped to liberalize Latin American economies.
 
 

 

Say a Prayer for a Hero

Simon Wiesenthal has died.

He was a man who wouldn’t back down even though he was never going to see the end of his mission. In his later years he worked against anti-Semitism and Holocaust deniers.

He was a brave man, and the world is poorer with his passing.
