...title of Higher Educationwill undoubtedly mislead many readers. The book is not an account of Pusey's years as college president. Despite the addendum, "A Personal Report," his writing remains determinedly impersonal.

HEW argues that its 370 programs need to be run from headquarters for the sake of consistency; divergent decisions, the department feels, confuse and mislead people. But St. Louis Mayor James Conway, a Democrat, is dismayed. "Everything is coming from Washington rather than the regional offices," he says. "Under Nixon and Ford, decisions were frequently made in the field and quickly. We find less of that...
