...President-elect, closeted with Finch, Mitchell and Assistant Bob Haldeman, is working his way through two tomes, each as thick as a Washington telephone book, to mold his Administration. Prepared over the past seven months by Dr. Glenn Olds, former president of Massachusetts' Springfield College, the black-bound volumes contain scouting reports on some 1,500 possibilities for the Government's top 300 jobs. It remained to be seen how far Nixon will bow to political considerations in his appointments, but Olds deliberately gave that factor little weight...
...Haught, 27 years a miner and brother-in-law of one of the missing men, complained that the mine was "filled with gas" and "something was bound to happen." Tony Boyle, president of the United Mine Workers lo cal, demurred. "This happens to be one of the better companies as far as safety is concerned," he said. "I share the grief.

But both men look forward to a long convalescence. Six weeks in a cast is standard, followed by months of tedious exercise. Eventually, Hanratty and Sayers will be able to play again-but how well...
...Masters feel fierce competition among thesemlves as representatives of the different Houses. They evaluate each proposed social reform in terms of how it will affect their own House's "prestige" or "position" vis-a-vis the other Houses. Since each proposal which comes before the Committee is bound to "lower" some Houses and "elevate" others, no issue stands a chance of generating the kind of unity necessary for passage...
