But the issue of growth is more complex than suggested by a growth/no growth…

A LTHOUGH URBAN AREAS dominate the American political scene / today, our firsthand knowledge of big-city politics and politicians is surprisingly limited. Most of the literature in this field deals descriptively with bosses and machines. Few empirical studies have been concerned with the less sensational aspects of urban political organization or personnel, and almost none have investigated the attributes and attitudes of those big-city political…
