DELAWARE. Democrat Sherman W. Tribbiff, 49, coasted into office on a kind of reverse landslide: the land simply slid out from under his opponent, Republican Incumbent Russell W. Peterson, 56. A research chemist with a Ph.D. who left a $75,000-a-year job at Du Pont to run successfully for the governorship in 1968, Peterson had won a deserved reputation as a reformer and innovator; among his credits was a widely praised coastal zoning law, enacted in 1971, that barred polluting industries from building plants along Delaware's 381-mile shore line. But Peterson's fortunes suddenly...
Rage. Tuller's associates at the U.S. Commerce Department were dumbfounded. They considered him to be a mild-mannered humanitarian who worked hard to help blacks in his $26,436-a-year job with the Office of Minority Business Enterprise. Their first reaction was that the work had been too much for him. Said his boss, John Jenkins, a black: "The frustrations build up in a man and can break him down. The system grinds you down." In addition, Tuller had a severe case of diabetes. Last month he submitted his resignation on grounds of ill health...
Explosive I. At Oregon, McKay was a flashy halfback who helped lead his team into the 1949 Cotton Bowl. After graduation he decided that he would not play as a pro and took a $2,800-a-year job as assistant coach at his alma mater. In 1959 he joined the U.S.C. staff. One year later he was named head coach. After two losing seasons, he silenced the protests of U.S.C.'s rabid alumni by sweeping both the 1962 national championship and Coach-of-the-Year honors. The first coach to popularize the explosive I formation, McKay...
Then, too, there is a strong strain of complacency at Thompson. Says the agency's $150,000-a-year president, Henry M. Schachte: "If we lose an account, the tendency has been to look at us and ask what's wrong. But why not look at the clients and ask what's wrong with them?" This Thompson-knows-best philosophy has irritated clients. Explaining why he pulled part of his account from the agency, Henry Ford II said: "Thompson got to thinking it was part of the Ford Motor...
...rubbed some of the luster from David Rockefeller's Chase Manhattan Bank, the world's third largest. Last week Chairman Rockefeller made two related announcements. The bank's third-quarter earnings were down 10% from last year, to about $35 million. More surprisingly, President Herbert P. Patterson, 47, had resigned after scarcely three years in the $172,500-a-year job that he had reached after a 23-year career with Chase, his only employer. He was replaced by tough-minded Willard C. Butcher, 46, previously the vice chairman in charge of planning...
