Here's Part 2 of an episode of AM Chicago on WLS Channel 7 featuring famed sports reporter and anchor Tim Weigel as host (were they going through a different host each week at this point?).

The guest on this episode was legendary Chicago newspaper columnist and author, Mike Royko, who was 49 years old at the time. Includes:

Tim and Mike discuss ERA protesters, Mike's love of 16-inch softball and his recent game with the Sun-Times Vs. Andy Frain.
