The City at Stake
The City at Stake: Secession, Reform and the Battle for Los Angeles. By Raphael J. Sonenshein. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2004. 328p. $39.50. Unlike any other city in recent years, Los Angeles has been the subject of grand theorizing in urban studies, so much so that many write of an “L.A. school” of urban theory. With its sprawl, smog, postindustrial economy, and postmodern architecture, this California city is often presented as an …
Opportunities and Constraints on Mayoral Behavior
A theoretical perspective that situates mayoral behavior within broader patterns of partisan competition is asserted here as a more satisfying explanatory framework for mayoral leadership than rival theories that focus on personality. Behavior is structured by the mayor’s relationship toward the regime in power. Mayors are either affiliated or independent of the regime, and regimes are either strong or weak. Four leadership postures result, and c…
Lyndon Johnson, Community Action, and Management of the Administrative State
The Community Action Program (CAP) was one of the highest‐profile but least successful of President Johnson's Great Society programs. Pluralist and neo‐Marxist theories hold that the origins of CAP and the problems that the program encountered were rooted in the politics of interest group and racial conflict, respectively. Drawing on archival evidence, this article turns attention to the important, yet forgotten, administrative dimension of CAP. …

Roosevelt, Mayors and the New Deal Regime
The United States Conference of Mayors (USCM), founded in 1933 to give big city mayors an effective organizational base for lobbying Congress and coordinating with executive branch agencies, was a major force in New Deal politics. It lobbied Congress and the White House to support stronger urban programs and federal-city links. The USCM also acted as an informal extension of the federal bureaucracy by providing program information to municipaliti…
The Housing Act of 1954
The Housing Act of 1954 marked a historic turn in housing policy and federal-city relations. The act replaced public housing with commercially oriented urban renewal. It also served to redefine urban liberalism. Before 1954, New Deal class divisions characterized debates about the role of the federal government in the cities; after 1954, a new, powerful alliance of mayors and business groups-led by the Eisenhower administration-created consensus …
Effects of an Orientation Program on Mobile Transfer Students
A group orientation program was designed and carried out to aid the adjustment of mobile seventh and eighth grade transfer students to their new schools. Students in the treatment program were compared to others in both placebo and no-treatment control conditions on various measures of school and emotional adjustment. The measures included state measures of anxiety, depression, and hostility; a problem checklist; and orientation and attitude ques…
