This reminds me of the part in the Robert Moses biography when he was made responsible over implementing a more meritocratic employee review system for the government. Just like this story, that one also ended in flames, though Moses made it out all right in the end. I wonder who the Moses character in this story was, and if we'll read about it in a biography in a few decades.
