Abstract
The Chicago Tribune "examination" of the Chicago public schools is not absent of bias. In the preface. Chicago Tribune editor, James Squires states: "Such schools...are hardly more than daytime warehouses for inferior students, taught by disillusioned teachers, presided over by a bloated, leaderless bureaucracy..." ("Chicago" xi). Yet, this conclusion regarding the evidence within the reporting had a higher purpose for the Tribune, according to Squires. That purpose was to prompt readers to understand what was realistically occurring in the Chicago schools, how the community was reflected in the school system and the implications that these findings had for American society as a whole ("Chicago" xi). It is due to this purpose that the investigative reporting that was accomplished by Tribune journalists in 1988 is an exceptional body of work.

Abstract
This paper reviews the life of Judy Chicago, born Judy Cohen in Chicago in 1939, and gained fame through her art, her writing, and her feminist activities. Her most famous piece of art is The Dinner Party, created in 1974 to 1979. (Lucie-Smith) According to the paper, it was created with the help of hundreds of volunteers. It is a most unusual work, comprising of a large triangular table, with ceramic plates representing thirty-nine feminist guests of honour. This paper discusses this piece arguing that - like most of Chicago's art - it weds Chicago's two greatest passions: art and feminism.

Abstract
The paper compares and contrasts two of the United States' most conspicuously successful community policing initiatives: the New York COMPSTAT program and the Chicago CAPS program. The paper briefly describes both, delineates some of the differences and similarities between the two and ultimately concludes that a rigidly monolithic approach to community policing, at least if the New York and Chicago models are any indication, is not desirable or necessary.

From the Paper
"In recent years, community policing has become increasingly prominent as police departments find themselves lacking the resources to combat crime in all of its various manifestations. With this in mind, the following paper will examine community policing in two communities - New York and Chicago - and ascertain where each is similar, and where each is different. Specifically, the paper will explicate "CAPS", discuss "COMPSTAT" strategies, compare the two, and - not least of all - delineate the contrasts between the two entities. Ultimately, what should become apparent is that there is not one effective means of combating crime. Peace-Officers.com, a respected web site written for and by police officers, simply defines community policing as "law enforcement that seeks to integrate officers into the local community to reduce crime and (to) gain good community relations" ("Glossary - Community Policing" 2004, para.1)."

Abstract
The paper discusses how analyzing the social, economic and political effects of the Chicago World Fair of 1893 reveals the shocking hypocrisy that pervaded American society in the late nineteenth-century. In Gilded Age America, the wealthy and powerful were idealized and worshipped as social, economic and political icons, despite the fact that many of them were ruthless, corrupt, egomaniacs who considered themselves above the law. The paper discusses how the Chicago World Fair was a national monument to hypocrisy, for it was a microcosm of America itself in this era of greed and psychological self-delusion.

Abstract
The paper discusses how the subsidized housing situation in Chicago is growing bleak, as it is doing in many of America's urban communities. The paper explains that the combination of a reduction in public housing and the increasing reliance on Section 8 has caused public housing situations to become critical. The paper notes that some have seen this development as an opportunity to segregate and a lawsuit has been filed to that effect. The paper discusses that whether or not this kind of accusation has a foundation in the truth is a subject of its own, but maintains that regardless of this, public housing is becoming scarcer and cities like Chicago will feel the negative effect more than most.

Abstract
This essay explores inner city life in Chicago from the years 1900 to 1930. In this article the writer discusses various pressures on American cities at the beginning of the twentieth century. Further, the writer examines how the city of Chicago was shaped and grew out of the poor overcrowded neighborhoods.

From the Paper
"At the turn of the century American cities were burgeoning under the pressures brought on by rapid immigration, urbanization, and industrialization. As thousands of immigrants flooded cities, none had the infrastructure to see the newcomers properly settled or evenly dispersed throughout densely populated neighborhoods. Pockets of decay grew out of the poorly settled neighborhoods--overcrowded, teeming with garbage and disease, crime, and poverty--divided by language, class, and ethnicity. It was these neighborhoods, however, that shaped and molded a city's fluctuating identity. This trend was exemplified in Chicago. By the end of the nineteenth-century Chicago could boast being the mightiest city in mid-America."
