By definition, a plot is "a secret project or scheme, often harmful. "THE PLOT THAT FAILED" refers to President Richard M. Nixon's attempt in 1972 and 1973 to achieve his major aims in domestic policy by controlling the management of domestic government. This strategy-referred to in this book as the "Administrative Presidency"--raises basic and intriguing questions for the American government. Under the plan, a cadre of newly appointed Cabinet and sub-Cabinet officials was to take over entrenched bureaucracies-and thus seek to attain Nixon's goals through administrative action. Watergate, however, was the downfall of the "Administrative Presidency." "THE PLOT THAT FAILED" is an account of an abortive attempt to control the machinery of domestic government. Richard P. Nathan, an official in the first term of the Nixon Administration, presents an interesting and balanced treatment of Nixon's domestic program. He underscores the fact that people across the political spectrum supported many of the aims of the "New Federalism." Was there merit in Nixon's concept of adopting an administrative strategy for putting these objective into effect? Would his strategy have worked if there had been no Watergate? What are its implications? These are some of the questions examined in this book.

Drawing on the history of state and local government in the New York Tri-State metropolitan region, the authors present a pathbreaking new theory about the values reformers must understand and balance in order to tackle the hard challenges of reforming and regionalizing local governance in the complex, dynamic world of American politics and public policy. Their examination of the way 2,179 local governments in the Tri-State region have evolved over more than a century pays special attention to New York City, but is applicable to other metropolitan areas. It brings to life ideas that are crucial to a subject that in the academic literature is often treated in a way that is abstract and hard to grasp. This is a valuable book for scholars, political leaders, and students interested in regionalism in metropolitan America and in the fascinating history and governance of the nation¡¯s largest city and its vast metropolitan region.
