Excerpt:

Evaluation of federal government programs is in a way a nonsubject because there hasn’t been a serious evaluation of a federal program for reasons I’ll go into a little later. My thought is to tell you how a particular federal program was “evaluated.” The Model Cities Program is one that I have had some hand in evaluating, so that in a way, this is a case history, and, unfortunately, partly an autobiographical one.
