Harvey McQueen was appointed personal educational adviser to David Lange, then Minister of Education as well as Prime Minister, during the crucial reforms of ?Tomorrow?s Schools?. McQueen?s memoir of that time, The Ninth Floor (1991), provides an informed commentary on the educational and political history, while his sympathetic treatment of Lange gives a narrative undertow close to tragedy.
