Though he has been farsighted in his chosen areas of competence, especially energy, the President has not provided anything resembling a blueprint for the nation. That would not be in keeping with his temper or his inclinations. "Ford is a prudent, careful builder," says a close friend and adviser. "When he came in, he bent a little leftward. Recently he's been tilting a little rightward." He does not want to provide his opponents on the right, chiefly Ronald Reagan, with any ammunition. But some activists on the White House staff are aware that a problem that is deferred...
...first moderates to quit the Cabinet were the Mario Soares Socialists, who protested against the M.F.A.'s political blueprint for the creation of local revolutionary councils, which would virtually eliminate political parties (TIME, July 21). The Socialists were followed last week by the centrist Popular Democrats (P.P.D.) and by two independent ministers, who pulled out of the coalition when they failed to receive assurances from the military that press freedom would be restored and parliamentary democracy would be established...

Portugal's outraged Socialist leader, Mario Scares-perhaps the country's best hope for Socialism with a human face -resigned from the government, in which he served...
...this aspect that Moore slights. He introduces 19th century complications: an involved, but strangely chaste affair, a faceless enemy, a gaggle of venal sycophants. Then he seems to lose patience with these promising elements, and before 200 pages are out, Maloney hurtles to an abrupt martyrdom. The blueprint remains; the major work is never constructed...
This week the Energy Research and Development Administration, created by Ford last October to map out the nation's route to alternate sources of power (TIME, April 14), published its first recommendations. The ERDA policy blueprint will not stir much hope for a quick solution to the complex energy dilemma. Concedes ERDA Deputy Administrator Robert Fri: "One message of the plan is that we're sorry, but there is no simple answer." The agency calls for stepped-up development of a wide range of new and existing energy technologies and resources. But up through the mid-1980s...
