9 The distinction comes from Lincoln Stefans who I recall writing in his autobiography about the difference between turn of the century reformers and politicians. When a woman's son has committed crimes galore, the boss from Boston explained, the reformers promise her justice but the machine provides help.

To discover how a review essay on tax expenditure or a conference paper on foreign policy or a festschrift on federalism can be turned into an application of cultural theory, it is necessary to read those essays: “No War Without Dictatorship, No Peace without Democracy: Foreign Policy as Domestic Politics,” Social Philosophy & Policy, Vol. 3 (Autumn 1985), pp. 176–91; “Federalism Means Inequality” in Golembiewski, Robert and Wildavsky, Aaron, eds., The Costs of Federalism (Transaction, 1984), pp. 55–69.Google Scholar
