At issue in this class action is the constitutionality of the patronage hiring system maintained by the appellants in Cook County, Illinois. The appellees are independent candidates, independent voters, and taxpayers who allege that the appellants' policy of using political "sponsorship" as a factor in determining who receives a Cook County government job, creates a substantial electoral advantage for the incumbent political office holder and, in doing so, violates the appellees' constitutional rights. The district court granted the appellees' motion for partial summary judgment on the issue of liability.[1] Shakman v. Democratic Org. of Cook County, 481 F.Supp. 1315, 1355 (N.D.Ill.1979).

No one before Kurlansky has managed to evoke so rich a set of experiences in so many different places—and to keep the story humming." -Chicago Tribune To some, 1968 was the year of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Yet it was also the year of the Martin Luther King, Jr., and Bobby Kennedy assassinations; the riots at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago; Prague Spring; the antiwar movement and the Tet Offensive; Black Power; the generation gap; avant-garde theater; the upsurge of the women's movement; and the beginning of the end for the Soviet Union. In this monumental book, Mark Kurlansky brings to teeming life the cultural and political history of that pivotal year, when television's influence on global events first became apparent, and spontaneous uprisings occurred simultaneously around the world. Encompassing the diverse realms of youth and music, politics and war, economics and the media, 1968 shows how twelve volatile months transformed who we were as a people—and led us to where we are today. "A cornucopia of astounding events and audacious originality ... Like a reissue of a classic album or a PBS documentary, this book is about a subject it's hard to imagine people ever tiring of revisiting. They just don't make years like 1968 very often." - The Atlanta Journal-Chronicle "Fascinating ...

Counts I through VI are unchanged from the First Amended Complaint. Counts VII and VIII, which added the Republican patronage defendants in 1972, are also unchanged. Final judgments have been entered on Counts I-VIII as to the City and at various times to other defendants in the form of the Consent Orders entered in 1972 and 1983. Count IX, which joined IVI-IPO in 1991 as a plaintiff against the Cook County defendants, is also unchanged since its filing, since it is subject to a final judgment contained in a Consent Order with the County Defendants. Count X, which begins on page 49, is a supplement to Counts I-IX and concerns events occurring after entry of the judgment orders in this case. It consists of allegations concerning the eight Additional Plaintiffs (as defined in that Count), who sought to be joined as plaintiffs in this action in November 2005.
