...aide's sentiments were not unique. The process of creating from scratch and then attempting to implement a blueprint for wresting control of a massive bureaucracy from the clutches of hostile (Carter) forces posed both political and logistical problems. For every department, agency and office an analogous transition team arose to pinpoint key issues for the incoming administration to tackle, and personnel to be discarded or retained. For three months, personnel director E. Pendleton James played keeper of the Book of Lists (and boxes of resumes), while a Council of Elders held intermittent Judgment Day caucuses. The result: a tiny...
Most of the new members of the Politburo are considered economic reformers. Stefan Olszowski, 49, who was thought to be in line to succeed Gierek last summer, privately criticized food price increases that touched off the 1976 riots and later drew up a blueprint for economic change. Tadeusz Grabski, 51, a trained economist, was bounced from the Central Committee in 1979 for assailing Gierek's "misguided" economic policies. In domestic political matters, the refashioned Politburo is believed to be pragmatic, though its newest member, Mieczyslaw Moczar, 66, is a ruthless hardliner. As Interior Minister in the late 1960s...
Faced with the poverty of neoconservative and traditional liberal solutions, Ronald Muller tries to draw up a new blueprint of attack. More than an economic tract on revamping American industry; Revitalizing America looks at fundamental changes that American people and corporations must make in the decade ahead. As the title suggests, prosperity requires much more than the recrudescence of an affluent industrial elite, but a rebirth of a political spirit of cooperation and determination. Muller's scope extends beyond domestic boundaries to the problems of the Third World--a topic conspicuously absent in the discussions of most corporate zealots...
...Police story is a blueprint for a successful alternative approach to making it in the record industry. Formed in the wake of the British punk uprising, the band released one single on its own Illegal label before signing with A&M. They shattered precedent by undertaking a short East Coast tour in late '77 without any record company support--flying Laker Airways and carrying drums as hand baggage to cut down on costs. When the Police concluded their first proper American tour in Los Angeles in May, 1979, they turned down a $12,000 offer to play a second night...
Schmidt did not formally unveil any new policy blueprint for the election, cautiously choosing to run mostly on his record. But he made clear that he wants the superpowers to stay out of the Iran-Iraq war, an early agreement between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. on limiting medium-range nuclear weapons, more pressure on Israel to accept the P.L.O. in Middle East negotiations, and increased political and economic cooperation within the European Community. At home, he recognizes some cracks that need caulking: disaffection among youth, drug abuse, growing resentment of immigrant workers. But first of all, he has repeatedly...
