...blueprint that Ford is following is a 23-page report that was drawn up by four members of his transition team, all old and trusted friends: former Pennsylvania Governor William Scranton, NATO Ambassador Donald Rumsfeld, Interior Secretary Rogers Morton and White House Counsellor John O. Marsh Jr. The four were careful to sound out the views of the Cabinet and a wide circle of Ford's advisers and confidants, including Melvin Laird, the former Congressman and Secretary of Defense; Bryce Harlow, an aide to both Presidents Dwight Eisenhower and Nixon; and Michigan's Robert Griffin, G.O.P. whip...

Even Wife Roberta concedes that Hartmann "does not have time to be as tactful as some people would wish." But he can also be garrulous and genial, particularly while...

GM Executive Vice President Oscar Lundin and Vice President Henry Welch flew to Washington on Aug. 8-the day of Nixon's resignation speech-for a meeting with Herbert Stein, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, and Kenneth Rush, Economic Counsellor to the President. Following a decade-old GM practice, they came to give advance notice of the scheduled increase and explain why, in GM's view, it was justified...
