The Honorable Profession book is unlike any other I have read or known on public service. It is both personal and analytic. It has quotable, lively truisms and witticisms. It is forthright and constructive – but also modest and self-critical. A good balance. Overall wonderful! --Peter Goldmark, New York State Budget Director under Governor Hugh L. Carey
Great Read. His memoir offers practical advice on dealing with complex bureaucracies, competing constituencies and executive loyalty while still maintaining one’s own physical and mental health and a necessary sense of humor. --Henrik Dullea, Director of State Operations under Governor Mario Cuomo
Arthur will be remembered by the depth of his commitment, indeed passion, for providing services to individuals with developmental disabilities in the community. --Ilene Margolin, Deputy Secretary for Health under Governor Mario Cuomo
I totally agree that public service is an honorable profession. Arthur’s book, “Honorable Profession,” should be required reading for all those in public service. --Michael Dowling, Secretary of Health and Human Services and Commissioner of the Department of Social Services under Governor Mario Cuomo
The Honorable Profession is a very important book for all those currently or thinking about entering public service. --Robert L. Schiffer, Senior Advisor and Deputy Budget Director under Governor Hugh L. Carey.
