The Vanishing Voter: Public Involvement in an Age of Uncertainty

"We all know that Americans don't vote -- 51% turnout, what we saw for Bush-Gore in 2000, is about as good as we get, and in most elections (like the one on Tuesday, and certainly in Austin local races), we settle for far less," writes Mike Clark-Madison in his review of Thomas Patterson's The Vanishing Voter.

Carrying the Burden

During Gov. Bush's campaign for his party's presidential nomination last fall, reporters asked the candidate to comment on a federal government report asserting that many Texans, including large numbers of children, were going to bed hungry. "I saw the report that children in Texas are going hungry. Where?" he demanded, going on to say, "You'd think the governor would have heard if there are pockets of hunger in Texas." Indeed, you would, especially if one of those pockets is just a few miles from his front door, Virginia B. Wood explains as she explores the very pockets of hunger in Austin Bush has difficulty fathoming.
