 Eye Weekly - Strong positions for any politician - 01.10.02
Provincially, election campaigns consist of a daily round of carefully scripted media events -- Mike Harris even hired school kids to jump out of the campaign bus to surround him with their smiling faces for TV -- and there was only one occasion when the leaders were in the same room together actually exchanging views.
But they are strong positions for any politician to take, and they create important expectations, including the expectation of functional democracy.
Public debate on new legislation used to be a hallmark of democracy, but Harris eliminated virtually all opportunities for public deputations and debate on new legislation, and Chrétien has substantially limited such input, as recently seen with the contentious security legislation.

 Samuel J. Tilden, Opponent of Tammany Hall...   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Samuel J. Tilden's modern image is overwhelmingly positive: the man who, it is thought, single-handedly broke up the Tweed Ring; the only man to have been elected President but denied the office; a major benefactor of one of the largest public research libraries in the world.
(36) But the most significant accomplishment often credited to him, the breakup of Tammany Hall, is his not (as is generally assumed) because he thought it was the right thing to do, but more because he thought it was the politically expedient thing for him to do.
Allen writes of Tilden, "[I]f he himself had ambitions for high offce, as he surely did, he must move now or be forever condemned as indecisive." Back to reference.

 Amazon.com: The Prince of Providence: The True Story of Buddy Cianci, America's Most Notorious Mayor, Some Wiseguys, ...   (Site not responding. Last check: )
More than just the story of one politician's success and transgressions, Stanton's in-depth examination of Cianci is representative of the American political system as a whole, which at its best passionately serves the greater good and at its worst serves the whims and wants of a select few.
That his vehicle is a flawed, flamboyant mayor makes it a colorful story in its own right, in which a good-government politician degenerates into graft with interludes in talk radio and, currently, jail.
With this background I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed Mike Stanton's book, and, after reading this, I can only conclude that my fellow Rhode Islanders who support this guy are either morally brain dead, or just were not aware of the depth of the corruption that existed in his administration.
