...moves now from cubicle to cubicle, more protected than ever by the Secret Service and the few aides allowed in contact with him. His few public encounters are with "sanitized" audiences, as they are now called, those like the Southern California business friends Roy Ash assembled for dinner in Los Angeles. Even those audiences, while still sympathetic to a friend, are riddled with people who see the reasons for impeachment. Nixon keeps these people, too, far from true intimacy...

...Administration's management of the economy is fast running out. Last week, in a flurry of activity at San Clemente, the President sought to restore credibility to his programs. He held a well-publicized round of meetings with his top economic aides, Adviser Kenneth Rush, Budget Director Roy Ash and Herbert Stein, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers -in what amounted to an economic summit meeting. This week the President was expected to make a major nationwide speech on the economy...
