profited handsomely from his insider’s understanding of the real estate aspects of them all. In this book, William L. Riordan, among the “muckracker”

journalists, information Plunkitt’s take on politics in Plunkitt’s own words–as delivered from the bootblack stand in the brand new York Region Courthouse, Plunkitt’s

only office. His undertake existence, politics, and morality is really as delightfully frank as it is astonishingly cynical. Enjoy!
