Presents a study of how political action committees (PACs) participated in the 1992 congressional election--an election heavily influenced by redistricting, incumbent retirements, and voter hostility toward Congress. Eighteen scholars participated in the study by conducting research on one or more PACs, following the committees from the early stages of the election cycle through the final days of the campaign. For students, scholars, and political practitioners. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
