Illinois Issues 1987 Index
The 1987 Illinois Issues Index consists of a titles index and an index to books reviewed. In the 1987 Titles Index, the titles of articles are listed in chronological order under subject headings and subheads.
There are 46 major subject headings in the Titles Index. They are in printed in boldface in all capital letters and are arranged alphabetically. They cover general subjects like ■ AGRICUITURE, ■ ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ■ HEALTH & SAFETY, ■ PHILANTHROPY, ■ TRANSPORTATION and ■ UTILITIES. To make them easier to spot, they're marked by a box. Titles of articles are listed under these headings in chronological order. Subheads are used when more than one article is written about a subject. Examples of subheads are: Campaign funding, Liability, Mental health and developmental disabilities. A special subhead, Appointments, etc., will help you find specific appointments, resignations, honors and deaths under each general heading. Articles are listed under the subheads in chronological order. We also have subheads referring you to another general subject heading.
We expanded our coverage of polls and polling in 1987 by adding a monthly coIUmn, The PUIse, written in alternating months by professional pollsters Richard Day, Michael McKeon and Nick Panagakis. We also publish an Illinois Issues Poll. You can find the general index for these features under STATE REPORTS & POLLS. The specific titles of the articles are indexed under the appropriate subject heading — in most cases, ELECTIONS — and the fact that it is a poll coIUmn is indicated in brackets.
Previous Illinois Issues indexes, going back to January 1975 when the magazine was founded, are listed under ILLINOIS ISSUES INDEX.
Last but not least, the Index to Books Reviewed is on page 24.
