Source Material: A Presidential Library Fit for Abraham Lincoln
Research sites for earlier presidents—George Washington through Calvin Coolidge—are distinguished from libraries for Herbert Hoover through George W. Bush, which are administered by the National Archives. Web sites and other information are provided for every president so that researchers can explore this treasure trove themselves.

Richard E. Neustadt's Intellectual Contributions
The Presidency and the Political Environment
For a White House staff to be successful, it must adapt to the work style of its own president and to the needs of the external institutions with which the president has continuing relations. This dual adaptation allows the staff to stabilize the White House in a stormy political environment. Examples are given of adaptations to the work styles of Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, and Clinton. Examples are also provided of adaptations…

I'd Rather Switch than Fight: Lifelong Democrats and Converts to Republicanism among Campaign Activists
Analysis of a survey of 1988 presidential campaign activists revealed that one-third of the Republican activists at one time thought of themselves as Democrats. Drawing on the mass realignment literature, the duration, movement, and motivation of this elite realignment were examined. A multivariate probit model was developed to analyze party switching that combines demographic, political, and attitudinal motivations. Ideology, parents' political …
Advocacy Politics in Presidential Parties
Analysis of data from a 1988 survey of presidential parties demonstrates that campaign leaders are better understood as true believers than as either representatives or vote maximizers. Analysis of leaders' attitudes reveals four issue groups in both the Republican and Democratic parties. The dominant coalition in the Republican party is slightly more conservative, and that in the Democratic party is slightly more liberal, than the party median. …

The Structures of the Reagan White House
This article presents data on four structures in the Reagan White House. The issue structure revealed an unusually high level of agreement. Three issue groups all reflected a fundamental conservatism. The communication structure showed the greatest volume of communications flowing to central coordinators and showed variations between other units dependent on an internal or external focus. The influence structure showed power concentrated among se…

Governmental Structure and Political Environment: A Statistical Note about American Cities
The commission plan and the city manager plan-new forms of city government launched during the early years of this century-were both devised in response to local circumstances, but were soon being heralded as improvements over the then universal mayor-council system. Enthusiasts for both of these new governmental structures claimed many advantages for them. The hopes for the city manager plan seem to have been somewhat better founded, but the pas…
Some Non-programmatic Dimensions of Parties
The author's role as an activist in the recent Presidential campaign leads him to suggest some factors which, though they may have little to do with policy, seriously affect party leaders' decisions. Mr. Kessel teaches in the Deparment of Political Science at Amherst College
