| | 1: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2007 February | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Unpopular wars inevitably lead to sharp conflicts between presidents and the press over the control of secret information. National security secrets find their way into print because government officials assigned to carry out questionable policies leak secret documents to reporters. The government responds to publication with threats of civil legal action and criminal prosecution. The Vietnam War produced the Pentagon Papers case in which the government unsuccessfully sought a prior restraint on the publication of a classified history of the Vietnam War. Now, Iraq-related cases have led to jail for some reporters, threats of jail for others and warnings of criminal prosecution for still others. These cases, taken together, threaten to criminalize news gathering of national security secrets. | | | | Date Created: | 04-17-2007 | | | | Agency ID: | Paper # 6 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000054645 Original UID: 176055 FIRST WORD: Publishing | |
| 2: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2013 February | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | This paper describes and analyzes President Obamas 2012 election victory in Illinois and compares it to his earlier victory in 2008 in his home state. It also extends the analysis back through the 2004 and 2000 presidential elections and shows how those results were similar and where they differed. It primarily relies on the county and county election returns supplemented by U. S. Census data as the unit of analysis. The paper sets Illinois into a national electoral context describing what is happening in an era of deep partisan polarization coupled with the prospects for a partisan realignment. | | | | Date Created: | 02-14-2013 | | | | Agency ID: | Paper # 34 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000054673 Original UID: 176084 FIRST WORD: President | |

| 4: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2007 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Campaigns and elections in Illinois are always interesting and exciting spectacles. They are full of colorful characters, great plots, and unexpected twists to the story line. Each election brings new characters and different stories, but each builds on the rich tradition and culture of a big and diverse state which takes its politics and politicians quite seriously. A state which over the last half century has produced such notables as Everett Dirksen, Paul Douglas, Adlai Stevenson, Jr., Charles Percy, Paul Simon, Alan Dixon, Richard Ogilvie, Dan Walker, Dan Rostenkowski, Richard J. Daley, Harold Washington, Richard M. Daley, Russell Arrington, Phil Rock, Michael Madigan, Pate Phillip, Roland Burris, George Ryan, Jim Edgar, Jim Thompson, Richard Durbin, Barack Obama, Emil Jones, Judy Barr Topinka, and Rod Blagojevich clearly has a great political culture and a compelling political history. We have had our scoundrels and some have ended up in federal prison. We have had our statesmen of the past and some of our present leaders hold national office with great prominence and prospects for national leadership. | | | | Date Created: | 07-26-2007 | | | | Agency ID: | Paper # 7 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000054646 Original UID: 176056 FIRST WORD: Party | |
| 5: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2008 January | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | The 2007â€2008 presidential nominations season will go down in the record books as the longest, the most expensive, the most front loaded, the most debated, the most unpredictable and the most contentious presidential nominations contest in American history. Part of the reason for the scope and depth of the highly public conflict was the fact that this was the first time since 1952 when a sitting president or vice president was not a serious contender for the nomination of one of the two major parties. | | | | Date Created: | 12-26-2007 | | | | Agency ID: | Paper # 9 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000054648 Original UID: 176058 FIRST WORD: Presidential | |

Decatur Mayor Mike McElroy, the Republican candidate, and Andy Manar, who at the time was the Chairman of the Macoupin County Board, spent more than $2.5 million and saturated the airwaves with commercials. Without an incumbent on the ballot, this newly drawn Senate district was a priority for both political parties. | | | | Date Created: | 09-12-2014 | | | | Agency ID: | Paper # 38 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000054677 Original UID: 176088 FIRST WORD: Partisanship, | |
