Book Review: The Strengthening of American Political Institutions

Abstract

The essays printed in this volume were originally delivered as lectures in the Cornell Symposium on "America's Freedom and Responsibility in the Contemporary Crisis." They all deal with topics of present importance, though it would not be hard to think of other subjects that would probe more deeply into the crisis in American political institutions than do several of the topics chosen. The essays are neither profound nor particularly original but, coming from a group of active participants in the current political scene, they make a worthwhile contribution.
