Abbott-Hoduski knows what she is talking about. This book is one of a handful I expect to keep permanently for future reference. Citizen activists who feel a bunch of ignorant and arrogant talking heads control our government, investigative reporters, coalition builders, lawmakers, and public administrators (to include librarians) who take heart in the trust we have given them, should read this book.
