Died. Hans Globke, 74, durable German bureaucrat who became a powerful figure in the postwar government of Konrad Adenauer; of pneumonia; in Bad Godesberg. A career civil servant who first served the Weimar Republic, Globke adapted to Nazi rule in the '30s and helped interpret the 1935 Nuremberg Laws, which deprived Jews of German citizenship. He later maintained that he had done his best to thwart the laws, and despite a public outcry, Globke returned to government after the war. He was appointed State Secretary by Adenauer in 1953, and during the next ten years became...
...friendly relations with working people, but, in reality, his archaic political views and patronizing attitude toward workers means they will not have an ally on the Cost of Living Council. George Meany may regard our former dean highly, but to steel and automobile workers he is just another labor bureaucrat...
...everywhere the nomadic Richardson moves, the morale around him seems to rise. The men with whom he works most closely consider him not only warm but witty.

In a season of ever more daring and dangerous aerial piracy, the Houston affair was perhaps the most bizarre to date. The leader of the hijackers was Charles Tuller, 48, a federal bureaucrat gone berserk. Going along for the ride were his two sons, Bryce, 19, and Jonathan, 18, and a friend of theirs, William Graham, 18. Only the week before, Tuller & Sons and Graham, two of them posing as telephone repairmen, had entered a bank in Arlington, Va., and tried to hold...
Marvin who? A slight, dark-haired 39-year-old economist, Kosters is a prime example of the almost invisible bureaucrat who exercises great power. His title is Assistant Director for Planning and Analysis of the COLC, which means he is the man with the figures, the individual who analyzes problems for the prominent policymaking chiefs -five Cabinet members sit on the COLC. Kosters is a cool, precise hard worker; he wastes no time exhaustively analyzing dozens of ideas that he does not think will work. Instead he marshals his figures to point toward a single clear course of action. Largely...
