...campaign director and now a candidate for the Democratic nomination, was the most unequivocal. "Without hesitation and unopened, the briefing book or any materials from a rival's campaigri that came into our hands would be returned, Hart asserted.

Klitgaard recalls a seminar that he and several colleagues conducted in Mexico in the fall of 1980 which was a condensed version of the K-School's "Workshop" course on the fundamentals of management--memo writing and cost-benefit analysis. A Kennedy school professor was working from a case study on the cost and benefits of building a dam, and explaining how to weight the cost of finding alternative accommdations for Indians in the proposed site against the benefits of the improved power the dam would provide.

Webster has since been unable to find these references and, chides the committee, "has no idea where he got that information. The background...
