Amidst all this, grace under pressure has been in short supply. After being ungraciously dumped as energy adviser (the third to be appointed), former Colorado Governor John Love said last week that he felt "battered and bruised." Richardson must have felt much the same way when he was forced to resign. By serving in three different Cabinet posts, Richardson incidentally matched another record. George Cortelyou, appointed by Theodore Roosevelt, was the only other man to hold three Cabinet positions-Treasury, Postmaster General, and Commerce and Labor-under one U.S. President...
...survey, G.O.P. strategists calculated that the party may lose as many as 75 of the 191 House seats that it now holds. In the Senate, they found, Nixon's failure to resolve Watergate problems may cost Republicans six of their 43 seats, those of Kansas' Robert Dole, Colorado's Peter H. Dominick, Kentucky's Marlow W. Cook, Utah's Wallace F. Bennett, North Dakota's Milton R. Young and Florida's Edward F. Gurney (who has scandal problems of his own as well...
Another vital change is the substitution of Simon's driving administrative approach for the slow, cautious methods of his predecessor as energy czar, former Colorado Governor John A. Love. On Wall Street, Simon throve as a bond trader who regularly had to make quick decisions on deals involving many millions of dollars, with painful penalties for failure. A long-hours man who regularly lunches at his desk (on enormous delicatessen sandwiches), Simon does not believe in large formal meetings that seek to form a consensus among those attending. He prefers to get information and advice from close aides...
...little sulfur. At first glance, Interior's program might appear to be too tentative and cautious for an energy-starved nation. Of the Federal Government's 8 million acres of oil-shale land, only six tracts will be leased for exploitation: two each in Utah, Wyoming and Colorado. Each tract will comprise only 5,120 acres. But the two richest parcels-those in Colorado -contain nearly as much potential oil (some 9 billion bbl.) as that located by the great strike on Alaska's North Slope...
Open-pit mining methods, like those used to get copper in Butte, Mont., may also be tested, probably at one of the Colorado tracts. Great earth-moving machines would first peel back the sagebrush and grass over thousands of acres, next remove billions of tons of earth and rock, and finally gouge out the oil-shale beds 100 ft. to 850 ft. below the surface. The other technique, to be tried at the remaining leaseholds, will be to deep-mine with conventional pillar-and-room tunneling, as is done with coal-but on a gargantuan scale. More than...
