This reminds me of some material I picked up off the web this week from the
Civic Practices Network on civic renewal. The URL is
http:www.cpn.org/sections/new_citizenship/nccr-jan1.html. Two of the
presenters addressed this issue: James Davidson Hunter and Alan Wolfe. It
is very interesting, as well as the other presentations. I think it is
worth a look.
