Introduction

               Ideas are the very stuff of politics.
         – Deborah Stone

              Whoever decides what the game is about also decides who gets into the game.
                  – E.E. Schattschneider

              How the national debate is framed, and what options are put before the public, can be more important ultimately than the immediate choices made. The   framing defines the breadth of the nation’s ambitions, and thus either raises or lowers expectations, fires or depresses imaginations, ignites or deflates political movements. 
       – Robert Reich
