Charter reform, civil service, and settlement houses are all part of the intriguing tale of how progressive reformers responded to big-city "bossism." Buck Delventhal, deputy city attorney for San Francisco, and Phil Ginsburg, former director of the San Francisco Department of Human Resources, explore the origins and legacy of these turn-of-the-century reform efforts.
