The Last Liberal Republican is a memoir from one of Nixon’s
senior domestic policy advisors. John Roy Price—a member of the
moderate wing of the Republican Party, a cofounder of the Ripon
Society, and an employee on Nelson Rockefeller’s
campaigns—joined Daniel Patrick Moynihan, and later John D.
Ehrlichman, in the Nixon White House to develop domestic policies,
especially on welfare, hunger, and health. Based on those policies,
and the internal White House struggles around them, Price places
Nixon firmly in the liberal Republican tradition of President
Theodore Roosevelt, New York governor Thomas E. Dewey, and
President Dwight Eisenhower.Price makes a valuable contribution to
our evolving scholarship and understanding of the Nixon presidency.
Nixon himself lamented that he would be remembered only for
Watergate and China. The Last Liberal Republican provides firsthand
insight into key moments regarding Nixon’s political and policy
challenges in the domestic social policy arena. Price offers rich
detail on the extent to which Nixon and his staff straddled a
precarious balance between a Democratic-controlled Congress and an
increasingly powerful conservative tide in Republican politics. The
Last Liberal Republican provides a blow-by-blow inside view of how
Nixon surprised the Democrats and shocked conservatives with his
ambitious proposal for a guaranteed family income. Beyond Nixon’s
surprising embrace of what we today call universal basic income,
the thirty-seventh president reordered and vastly expanded the
patchy food stamp program he inherited and built nutrition
education and children’s food services into schools. Richard
Nixon even almost achieved a national health insurance program:
fifty years ago, with a private sector framework as part of his
generous benefits insurance coverage for all, Nixon included
coverage of preexisting conditions, prescription drug coverage for
all, and federal subsidies for those who could not afford the
premiums. The Last Liberal Republican will be a valuable resource
for presidency scholars who are studying Nixon, his policies, the
state of the Republican Party, and how the Nixon years relate to
the rise of the modern conservative movement.

Coordination of land use and transport is one of the most important
issues in urban planning from the viewpoint of transport
infrastructure supply and amenity in urban space. There has been,
therefore, much research conducted in the fields of empirical
analysis and theoretical and mathematical modelling of the
mechanisms of land use-transport interaction. The members of the
Transport and Land Use SIG (Special Interest Group) of the WCTRS
(World Conference on Transport Research Society) have conducted
extensive research in these fields. Leading on from the activities
of ISGLUTI (International Study Group on Land Use-Transport
Interaction) chaired by Dr. Vernon Webster, its output was
published as a book "Land Use-Transport Interaction / Policies and
Models." Concurrently with this ongoing research, energy
consumption in the transport sector has been increasing rapidly and
become a crucial issue from the viewpoint of global environmental
conservation. An emerging research need is to examine and
structurally identify the mechanisms of the influence of land
use-transport interaction on energy consumption and environmental
damage, both locally and globally. The SIG held a seminar in
December 1993 in Blackheath, Australia which was the first meeting
where world class land use-transport experts gathered to discuss
the above topic, covering fact finding, scenario analysis and
modelling. This book contains selected papers from the seminar. The
Australian Government, CSIRO (Australia) and the Asahi Glass
Foundation (Japan) supported the seminar. The book was edited with
an enormous and patient help by Dr. Omar Osman at Nagoya
University.
