Couldn't get a hold of any of his books save for "Big Democracy".
Paul Appleby quotes that I particularly liked:
"I have been only a small part of the Department of Agriculture, but the Department of Agriculture has been a great part of me."
"The newspapers give us daily snapshots of government, not panoramas. Nor do the snapshots run together present a panorama. They are chosen for dramatic or spot interest, not for completeness and perspective. Correspondents at the Dumbarton Oaks conference told State Department officials: "We are not interested when you agree; we want to know when you disagree." That approach and its limitations are implicit in newspaper conventions. Press competition for advance news leads to such a high percentage of speculative news that at times I suspect the people of knowing more about what their government did not do than they know about what it did."
