520 _a"In 1989, Nelson W. Polsby and Martin Landau, of the Institute of Governmental Studies at the University of California, Berkeley, contemplated an experiment to preserve the intellectual heritage of public administration by having people in the field "write autobiographically about their intellectual lives" and collecting their compositions. As part of the experiment, they invited me, among others, to submit an essay. Recently, Larry Terry, now the book review editor of PAR, called the essay to the attention of Melvin Dubnick, the managing editor, who suggested that I submit it for publication in the journal. This article, slightly altered to bring it up to date, is that essay. The title is meant to indicate that while some fortunate people hear the music of the spheres, I seem to have hearkened to less celestial strains"
