  • Chicago Police and the Labor and Urban Crises of the Late Twentieth Century
    The Patrolmen’s Revolt: Chicago Police and the Labor and Urban Crises of the Late Twentieth Century By Megan Marie Adams A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Robin Einhorn, Chair Professor Richard Candida-Smith Professor Kim Voss Fall 2012 1 Abstract The Patrolmen’s Revolt: Chicago Police and the Labor and Urban Crises of the Late Twentieth Century by Megan Marie Adams Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Robin Einhorn, Chair My dissertation uncovers a history of labor insurgency and civil rights activism organized by the lowest-ranking members of the Chicago police. From 1950 to 1984, dissenting police throughout the city reinvented themselves as protesters, workers, and politicians. Part of an emerging police labor movement, Chicago’s police embodied a larger story where, in an era of “law and order” politics, cities and police departments lost control of their police officers. My research shows how the collective action and political agendas of the Chicago police undermined the city’s Democratic machine and unionized an unlikely group of workers during labor’s steep decline. On the other hand, they both perpetuated and protested against racial inequalities in the city. To reconstruct the political realities and working lives of the Chicago police, the dissertation draws extensively from new and unprocessed archival sources, including aldermanic papers, records of the Afro-American Patrolman’s League, and previously unused collections documenting police rituals and subcultures.

  • Menace Manual
    MONSTERS THAT TIME FORGOT CONVERTING MONSTERS When I was asked to help write the Menace Manual for the d20 MODERN Roleplaying Game, I was overjoyed to see so many monsters on the list from the Dark•Matter Campaign Setting for the ALTERNITY Roleplaying Game. After all, I’d had a great time writing Xenoforms: Aliens, Demons, & Aberrations with Rich Redman, and I was really looking forward to converting some of those creatures to the d20 MODERN rules. Then reality sank in: Converting monsters from ALTERNITY to the d20 MODERN rules wouldn’t be the same as converting monsters from DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, with its built-in d20 System compatibility. Heck, it was starting to look like work. So I put together a system for conversion, which I’ll share with you now. We’ll see how it works with the conversion of a pretty basic Dark•Matter creature, El Chupacabras (from Xenoforms). The Original El Chupacabras is a small creature with 2 Hit Dice that can climb, attacks with claws and bite, and has psion- ics and a blood drain attack. It gains its sustenance by sucking the blood from warm-blooded animals. So let’s see how the conversion process works. Size and Type By JD Wiker El Chupacabras fits nicely into the Small category for size. It resembles an animal in many ways, but its psionic powers make it a good candidate for magical beast. Ability Scores The first thing I needed to change Dark•Matter mon- Converting Monsters for the d20 MODERN Roleplaying Game sters into d20 MODERN creatures was a method of con- verting ability scores from ALTERNITY to the d20 d20MODERN System.
