This article compares journal prestige in 1975 and 1978 in the field of public administration. Information from two surveys of the membership of the American Society for Public Administration formed the data base for the study. Two dimensions of the concept of prestige have been analyzed: intensity and extensity. The intensity rating measured the strength of feeling toward a particular journal, while the extensity rating measured the breadth of recognition for a journal. The results of these surveys revealed differences between academic and practitioner perceptions of public administration and related journals which may indicate some trends for the field.

This article examines American regulatory policy over the past century and the factors that have affected its development. Among the trends analyzed are the movement away from independent regulatory commissions, the larger role played by the institutional presidency vis-a-vis the Congress in the regulatory arena, and the growing resistance of states and localities to national government regulation and "unfunded mandates."
