Argues that the American presidency can best be viewed as an “exemplary†institution from which occupants attempt to “read†and then shape political culture through the imaginative and selective adaptation of the thought, policies, and leadership styles of past leaders. Philip Abbott tests his theory through an examination of the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
