Abstract

No Hurrah for McClure. An Old-time Boss at Work
Allen Jr., Charles R. | July 28, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

The author says that if the cult of the individual "has been getting its share of knocks abroad, so too has a domestic institution of a somewhat parallel nature, the old-line political Boss. The impression gained from such analyses is that people have entered a sort of electoral millennium where enlightened popular sovereignty faces little or no threat from one-man rule. It has also withstood the shock of at least two major scandals big enough to have destroyed outright most political organizations.
