Nixon's super-secretaries: the last grand presidential reorganization effort

In: Joseph V. Hughes Jr. and Holly O. Hughes series on the presidency and leadership

Abstract

"Mordecai Lee provides a lively and authoritative account of an important administrative reform undertaken in the shadow of Watergate. He argues persuasively that Nixon's experiment with super-secretaries might have been the last grand attempt to impose order on the bulk of the federal bureaucracy."ùAlasdair S.
