Although it is better known for velocity than for volition, the capital of Indiana is a conservative city which retains a good deal of its old character—particularly the American and Hoosier talent for creating voluntary associations to make unnecessary what Professor Frank Tannenbaum calls “the evil benefits of the welfare state.” Indianapolis long has known what Dr. Daniel Moynihan discovered only last year: that our cities cannot be governed from Washington.
