On the morning of March 10, 1967, the Springfield Union reported that University of Massachusetts Assistant Professor David Mayhew had received a Congressional Fellowship from the American Political Science Association (APSA). The Union stated that the Fellowship was designed to give “outstanding young political scientists [and] journalists … practical knowledge of the legislative process.” In the story, Mayhew provided the above quotation about the New Zealand-like quality of Congress. For over half a century, APSA's Congressional Fellowship Program (CFP) has made it possible for political scientists to “be there,” thus enhancing our collective ability to “be sure what it's like.”
