ABOUT THE AUTHOR: After spending five years in Washington as Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare and as Chairman of the Urban Coalition, John Gardner is now head of Common Cause, an organization he founded to lobby for the interests of the American citizen. REVIEWS: "Mr. Gardner's book has the virtue of going directly to questions that are in the minds of educators, parents, teachers, and students in the schools and colleges and dealing with them sympathetically on the basis of his personal knowledge of the American system as it works."--Harold Taylor, Saturday Review. "Once in a while a book comes along which, if taken to heart, possesses the capacity to lift the whole tone of a nation's thinking. John W. Gardner has produced such a book."--Christian Science Monitor. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Seller Inventory # 004505
