  • An “I” on Congress: The Process and Products of Congressional Investigations

  • Gina Yannitell Reinhard
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    18 June 2008, pp. 666-669

  • On February 13, 2008, a House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform hearing was broadcast on CNN, C-SPAN, and MSNBC. The attention of these networks was not surprising; they typically air congressional hearings and events. What was unusual was that viewers could also find the hearings on FOX, ABC, CBS, NBC, and ESPN. One of the hearing's key witnesses was Roger Clemens, a 24-year veteran of Major League Baseball who holds seven Cy Young awards. For more than four hours that day, Clemens was questioned by the committee regarding his alleged use of steroids (U. S. Congress 2008c).

  • The APSA Congressional Fellowship: Value for Faculty from Teaching Colleges and Universities

  • Roger P. Rose
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    18 June 2008, pp. 670-672

  • During its 55-year history, the APSA Congressional Fellowship Program (CFP) has influenced much of the best work written about Congress. Top congressional and legislative scholars like David Mayhew, Alan Rosenthal, David Rohde, Lawrence Dodd, and Barbara Sinclair, to name just a few, were strongly influenced by their experience as legislative fellows on Capitol Hill. To cite the most prominent example, David Mayhew remarked that his fellowship year was integral to his writing of Congress: the Electoral Connection: “Absent my experience as an APSA Congressional Fellow in 1967–1968, there is not the slightest chance I would have conceived or written The Electoral Connection” (quoted in Biggs 2003, 143).
