About the book

In this tale of one of America's most august institutions Nelson Polsby argues that among other things, from the 1950s to the 1990s, Congress evolved. He breathes new life into institutional history, and offers an explanation for important transformations in the congressional environment.

First sentence: Roughly six decades ago, in 1940, Sam Rayburn of Texas became Speaker of the House of Representatives.
