Notes and References
The emphasis on the importance of analytical means is not intended to convey a perception that numerous other aspects are not involved in preventing good policy. My experience in the policymaking arena precludes such naivete. Experiences have made me painfully aware, for example, of the tremendous power and influence of entrenched corporate interests in the policy process. That experience has also made me aware that one of the strongest weapons against such interests is well publicized results from competent research. For an example of the power of research and advocacy with regard to reducing the power of the atomic energy industry in Washington, D.C. see: Duffy, Robert J.
