Democratic approach to politics, in which a party functionary
works like crazy for a campaign that dispenses rewards to
interest groups on behalf of the candidate. That approach worked
phenomenally for Harold L. in 1936, when he was serving the New
Deal as <A href="http://search.bloomberg.com/search?q=Franklin+D.+Roosevelt&site=wnews&client=wnews&proxystylesheet=wnews&output=xml_no_dtd&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&filter=p&getfields=wnnis&sort=date:D:S:d1">Franklin D. Roosevelt</A>'s adviser and secretary of the
