	James R. Thompson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		James Robert Thompson III (born May 8, 1936), also known as "Big Jim Thompson", was the longest-serving Governor of the U.S. state of Illinois.
		Thompson was re-elected in 1978 with 60 percent of the vote, defeating State Superintendent Michael Bakalis.
		Thompson, along with his gubernatorial successor Jim Edgar and state treasurer Judy Baar Topinka, have been criticized by some in the Illinois Republican Party for being too "liberal." Such criticism is representative of a debate within the national Republican Party regarding how liberal Republican candidates and office-holders should be (see also Republican in Name Only).

	University of Tennessee Physics Department: People: Dr. James R. Thompson
		Many of these studies are based on magnetic investigations, exploring the intimate and complex interrelationship of (1) thermal disordering energy, (2) the interaction energy between quantized lines of magnetic flux (vortices) in a superconductor, and (3) the "pinning" energy that tends to trap vortices at localized defects.
		Thompson has explored the formation of "tailored defects" with controlled densities and morphologies, for trapping or "pinning" vortices; this tilts the balance of energies in the material to enhance its current-carrying capability ("critical current density"), sometimes by orders-of-magnitude.

		In a country with such a dismal voter participation rate, the aggressive exploration of democratic governmental ideals in spatial metaphor is impressive, even if the aesthetic experience is unsettling.
		Another unsettling, but more rewarding, aspect of the Thompson Center is coming upon it through the orthogonal dignity of the Daley Civic Center: it seems as though a UFO has landed amidst the upstanding international-style and neo-classical buildings.
		The Thompson Center houses more than 50 state agencies and hosts artworks from the State of Illinois Art-in-Architecture program.

		The building was commissioned by Illinois Governor James R. Thompson (1977-1991) to replace Chicago's old seat of state government, the State of Illinois Building, located just across La Salle St. When it opened in 1985, architect Helmut Jahn's eye-grabbing, post-modernist design and immense budget overruns subjected the building and its sponsors to much ridicule.
		Clad in blue, salmon and silver panels, this 17-story glass and steel behemoth still possesses one of the most striking exteriors in the Loop (compare it to the less-is-more modernism of the Daley Civic Center located diagonally across the Clark and Randolph intersection).
