Lost Rights
From Justice Department officials seizing people's homes based on mere rumors to the IRS and its master plan to prohibit the nation's self-employed from working for themselves to the perpetrators of the Waco siege, government officials are tearing the Bill of Rights to pieces. Today's citizen is now more likely than ever to violate some unknown law or regulation and be placed at the mercy of an administrator or politician hungering for publicity. Unfortunately, the only way many government agencies can measure their "public service" is by the number of citizens they harass, hinder, restrain, or jail. James Bovard's Lost Rights provides a highly entertaining analysis of the bloated excess of government and the plight of contemporary Americans beaten into submission by a horrible parody of the Founding Fathers' dream.
The New Suburbanites
National data indicates a surge in African-American suburbanization during the 1970s. What are the barriers that have slowed this process for so long? Is black entry to the suburbs synonymous with integration? To what extent does it contribute to convergence in the residential distributions of whites and blacks? This careful and thorough study marshals evidence that black suburbanization offers less than full realization of the American Dream.Homeownership in the United States is a source of security, a sign of status, a means of equity accumulation, and a bond to the community. The basic premise underlying The New Suburbanitesis the preeminence of equal access. Survey data collected for thi...

Kitchen Table Politics
Most histories of modern American politics tell a similar story: that the Sunbelt, with its business friendly environment, right-to-work laws, and fierce spirit of frontier individualism, provided the seedbed for popular conservatism. Stacie Taranto challenges this narrative by positioning New York State as a central battleground. In 1970, under the governorship of Republican Nelson Rockefeller, New York became one of the first states to legalize abortion. By 1980, however, conservative, antifeminist Republicans with broad suburban appeal—symbolized by figures such as Ronald Reagan—had usurped power from these so-called Rockefeller Republicans. What happened during the intervening decade...
Mis Managing the System
This book presents a highly effective, unique way of evaluating the management of organizations. When top management fails to inculcate a clear direction & vision, a void develops between management & the rest of the organization. This void is filled by The System, which is the sum of formal & informal procedures that evolve to create an internal consistency & working environment. The System becomes the organization's de facto top management. It is well understood by the people who live, work & interact with it. Most problems are due to The System that controls the organization, maintains the status quo, & helps isolate the people from top management. Most people are powerless to change The System, & thus problems persist while management mistakenly generates cosmetic "solutions." The solution to the elimination of persistent problems can be realized only if The System is dissolved & replaced with a New System. Praise from a world-renowned author: "Matthei is indispensable reading for anyone who wishes to change an organization." Volume discounts available from NUSYSTEMS, P.O.

With award-winning writing and photography covering everything from politics and food to theater and fashion, the magazine's consistent mission has been to reflect back to its audience the energy and excitement of the city itself, while celebrating New York as both a place and an idea.
