...unpredictable and dangerous opponent to the Soviets, the man who had just bombed and mined Haiphong. He succeeded in opening a channel to Brezhnev and invited him to Washington. That channel soon began to close. On the day that Brezhnev headed home from the U.S., John Dean began his Watergate testimony on the Hill. Nixon's political life was rushing toward its end, and the Kremlin sensed it. Gerald Ford was no master of the details of nuclear arms control at Vladivostok that November, but again the measure that he and Brezhnev took of each other proved important. This...
DIED. Neil Jacoby, 69, conservative economist who was dean of U.C.L.A.'s Graduate School of Business Administration and served on President Eisenhower's Council of Economic Advisers; of a heart attack; in Los Angeles. A free-market champion ("Adam Smith was the prophet"), Jacoby was warning about high inflation as long ago as the late 1950s, and argued that the proper cure was not controls but a curb on the red ink flowing out of Washington...

The battle over a Cabinet-level Department...
Education policy, says Ylvisaker, is too fragmented. "Within HEW," he says, "it tends to get submerged; health is number one, welfare is number two, and education just plods along behind all that." The dean compares educational policy to urban policy, saying that somebody must risk making clear and controversial arguments. "You have to put somebody in charge if you're going to get a coherent policy," he says, adding, "I would rather have one person in charge--even to shoot at--to clarify policy rather than run around to 1000 different departments with different responsibilities...
