FEATURES
12 ------ Here comes the neighborhood by Jennifer Halperin
Redevelopment on Chicago's West Side just might work, despite 25 years of
devatation. All of the commitments appear to be in place to make it happen.
17 ------ A portrait of immigration in Illinois by Bill Stamets
and Brian Lee
Illinois ranks among the top half-dozen states that immigrants choose to call home
making Chicago one of the most diverse urban areas in the United States.
22 ------ Dollars and democracy by Archibald Cox
The recipient of the Paul H. Douglas Ethics in Government Award outlines the
relationship between democratic principles and our campaign finance system.
26 ------ Third party dreaming by James L. Merriner
Election returns in this state should discourage advocates of any third party, but
shifts in party loyalty nationally could eventually catch up with Illinois.
About the cover: This month's cover portrait was taken by Chicago photographer
Bill Stamets. He managed to capture a moment at a recent Puerto Rican Indepen-
dence Day parade in that city. This picture was taken on Chicago's Dearborn Street.
