...executive suites, the bewilderment is no different. Said Bell & Howell Chairman Donald Frey: "I'm both puzzled and appalled. I just can't get the words and the music together." Sighed lifelong Democrat Newton Minow, former chairman of the Federal Communications Commission and a Carter supporter: "The Cabinet is not the problem. It is the people in the White House.

Said Civiletti last week: "There is nothing more harmful to justice or the perception of justice than delay, red tape, unpreparedness." Civiletti is seeking ways to form task forces from the various divisions of the department (such as criminal, tax and antitrust...
