Milton Friedman the Nobel Prize winning economist and Saul Beloff, the Nobel Prize winning novelist, taught at the University of Chicago for many, many years. So in that sense, they are associated with Chicago. But neither was born there (I beliee that Friedman was born in the Bronx and Beloff was born in or near Quebec City, but came to the U.S. when he was a few years old).
