William K. Muir, Jr., explains how a legislature works, bringing the whole process to life through his extraordinary gift for describing people and events. From his observation of the 1975-76 session of the California State Legislature, he contends that a good legislature functions as a good school, educating its members in the science of public policy and the arts of politics. When a legislature works well, as did California's, it provides its members with an education in patriotism, love of justice, and wisdom.
