ref: 1975 February 17, John Rossouw, "To the Editors", in Time magazine

glosses: A laborious but arbitrary and futile activity; an activity that amounts to running around in a circle, expending great energy but not accomplishing anything.
examples: text: Encourage caucus race resourcing: […] That is, the resourcing of the players would need to resemble the “caucus race” in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland – a race in which all the contestants won prizes. The best-known institutional arrangements for resourcing all legitimate comers in a regulatory system is the “subsidiary” doctrine […] Resources are not necessarily to be equated with cash: and indeed an alternative way of structuring a “caucus race” is for government to promote the transfer of talent among different institutions […]
