    The slip opinion issued on May 3, 2001, is amended to change the phrase on page 6 of
the opinion "namely that the fire department draws applicants from the Chicago suburbs as
well as the city, and the suburbs are 'whiter'" to read "namely th at the fire department
draws applicants from the Chicago suburbs (for since 1974 applicants have been required
merely to reside in the city on the date they su bm it their application and so they could
move to the city on the sa me day they applied), an d the suburbs are 'w hiter'".
