As mayor of Boston, as congressman, as governor of Massachusetts, Curley rose from the Irish slums in a career extending from the Progressive Era of Teddy Roosevelt to the ascendancy of JFK. Beatty's spellbinding story of this remarkable man-and of his city, his people, and his times-is biography at its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJack Beatty\u003c\/b\u003e is a Senior Editor of the \u003ci\u003eAtlantic Monthly\u003c\/i\u003e and a News Analyst on the public radio program \u003ci\u003eOn Point\u003c\/i\u003e from WBUR- Boston.
