in 1954 with an English major and designation as Scholar of the House, which gave me
time to write an apprentice novel in my senior year. Appointed to the Rhodes
Scholarship, I completed a dissertation on American politics, and Oxford awarded a
D.PhiJ., the “union card” for an academic career.
I taught Political Science, first at the University of Michigan, then the University of
California, Santa Cruz, and finally the U. S. Naval Academy, where I served as
Academic Dean and Professor of Political Science, retiring in 1999. During this time, I
published seven books and two dozen articles on aspects of American politics. My most
novelistic effort was The People, Maybe, an American government textbook that went
through three editions from 1971 to I 978.
