City management, public administration and the american enlightenment - New York : Marcel Dekker, 1989
History has often been ignored in examining administration at the local level. In this article the careers of three public administrators are studied, two academics and a practitioner.

Most importantly, these foundations are relevant for the future administration of the American city
