...Paris and funded largely by the Ford Foundation. At a cost of about $80,000, the I.A.C.F. gave the incoming Nixon Administration a searching set of speculations about the state of the U.S. today and where it is heading. France's Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber, journalist and author of the bestselling The American Challenge, voiced a note of urgency in opening the conference.

He is, variously: 1) a full professor at the University of Michigan, 2) a board member of half a dozen companies and consultant to many other firms, 3) the author of countless economic monographs and books, 4) an adviser to government officials. Still, when Richard Nixon last week named him to the position of the chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers (salary: $30,000), McCracken accepted the post eagerly.
