In this book, Kiplinger does something that is needed: -- he analyzes the inner organization of Washington, from the human angle, from the departmental angle, from the District administrative angle, from the Federal Government angle. He takes his readers on a grand tour of Washington, not as sightseers, but as students of the people that make up this extraordinary city, -- old Washingtonians, government officials, farm and labor groups, Negroes, Jews, lobbyists, women, journalists, etc. A clean presentable copy.
