Rockefeller In Retrospect: The Governor's New York Legacy
[PDF]Nelson A. Rockefeller, the state’s distinguished fiftieth governor, served from 1959 to 1973. About 100 people — many of them participants with the governor in state government during his tenure — gathered at the Rockefeller Institute of Government on December 10 and 11, 1982. They discussed the governor’s long-term impact upon politics, institutions, and policies in the Empire State. This volume is the record of that two-day program.
