DESCRIPTION:A broad set of reforms in the US to make political and social 
 life more transparent came to fruition between 1966 and 1975 -- but each f
 or different reasons. Why did greater openness seem at that time the best 
 solution to such disparate concerns as the legislature's effort to rein in
  the executive\, the desire of liberal members of Congress to get out from
  under the stranglehold of Southern Democratic committee chairs\, or the e
 ffort to reduce growing damages to the environment? (Is technology in any 
 way a part of the answer? No. But the absence of technologies that have si
 nce become so much a part of our lives may have led to reforms that today 
 seem cumbersome and antiquated.)\n\n
