註釋

In this authoritative treatment of the new breed of congressional politicians, Loomis shows how young men and women transcend party and constituency interests, playing to a national, rather than a local audience. He examines how this new class of congressmen, mostly Democrats, has altered the style and substance of American politics. Political entrepreneurs such as Richard Gephardt, Gary Hart, Paul Simon, shook up a committee system based on seniority and replaced it with one driven by issues expertise, and entrepreneurship. Loomis looks at how these politicians have courted unprecedented media attention while also seeking higher office; how they diligently build their enterprises around their personal offices, subcommittees, reelection campaigns, and former staffers; and whether they can produce coherent policies.
