Magaziner is now famous for three things-- (1) writing a report for remaking the Rhode Island economy, so disconnected from the constituencies effected that it was defeated massively; (2) writing a health care plan for Clinton so disconnected from the constituencies effected that it was defeated massively, (3) and writing an Internet plan so subservient to the interests effected that it was irrelevant or malevolent for making any progressive effect.
Oh and he wrote one interesting book.
Definately wins the idiot award of the Clinton administration.
