The New Reformers: Forces for Change in American Politics
(From the dust jacket flap: In the past half-dozen years...)
From the dust jacket flap: In the past half-dozen years, new and increasingly effective reform movements have emerged on the American political scene. With often dramatic success, they have been forcing both the Republican and Democratic parties to open themselves up to fresh ideas and to minority representation. What are these groups? Where have they come from? What kind of people head them and where are they going? Drawing on extensive personal knowledge, Stephen Schlesinger describes the central personalities and crucial issues of the most active of these organizations. . . .
