Some subjects found the experience as horrible as any psychosis and would have no more of it; others, with the same dose, could not get too much. "Was it possible that...
...unfortunate that The Federal Bulldozer suffers from this schizophrenia, because as a first in its field it could be quite an important book. No major work before has attempted to analyze the 15-year history of the federal urban renewal program, and Anderson has used previously-unpublished data from Urban Renewal Administration files...
