衰败的美利坚
——政治制度失灵的根源
20世纪之交，美国林业局的创立是美国进步时代国家建设的典范。1883年《彭德尔顿法
》（Pendleton Act）通过之前，美国政府公职是根据政党赞助比例分配的。而林业局
则是一个以才干为基础的官僚机构新模式的雏形。它配备的公职人员均为受过大学教育
的农林专业人才和技术骨干，其最初的领导者吉福德•平肖在博弈中取得了决定
性胜利，避免了日常政策受到国会干扰，确保了公务员系统的自主性。当时，让专业林
学家而非政治家来管理公共土地和部门人事，还是一种革命性的想法，但林业局的优异
表现证明了这个想法的正确性。主流学界将林业局前几十年的成功经历，视为公共管理
学的经典案例。
现如今，在许多人眼中，林业局是一个极度失灵的官僚机构，用错误的工具履行过时的
使命。这个机构仍由林业专家组成，其中不乏忠于职守者，但林业局已失去了很大一部
分平肖当年争取来的自主权。国会和法院对林业局的命令与限制名目繁... 阅读全帖 |

式，要看句子是怎么写的。
举2个例子：
His savings are in a bank account.
He opened a savings account with a local bank.
第一句主语是savings, 复数形式，所以后接Are.
第二句用a savings account是因为核心是account, savings是定语，起修饰作用。

步. 第一步是alien要满足10条中的至少3/2条(EB1A/B). 第二步是3/2条都满足之后,
还要审查一遍所谓的totality.
这么搞的原因是Kazarian的判决说, 对于8 C.F.R. § 204.5(h)(3)里面的10条中每一
条, 申请人只要能够达到"plain language requirements"就行. 这就是为什么一个
