Morning Glories by Amy Bridges Pdf
George Washington Plunkitt once dismissed municipal reformers as "morning glories" who looked good early on but soon faded. Political scientist Amy Bridges shows how that description fit the Northeast when Tammany Hall ruled New York City, but not the Southwest. Here Bridges traces reform politics and government in large Southwestern cities since 1901.
