While most people blame the current president (or their favorite scapegoat from the past) for what's wrong in Washington today, this insider explains that it is the very nature of the modern U.S. presidency that is to blame -- and he gives examples from both Republican and Democratic president's mistakes to prove it. He is both very scholarly and scrupulously objective. And this was written before the Nixon incident, so all the events that have transpired since merely reinforce his case. What a treasure!
