...fact it is precisely Shultz's thoroughness and his disdain for the dramatic that has shot him skyward in the estimation of Richard Nixon, a man who prizes tidiness and detachment. While he is a onetime Democrat and distinctly left of the Nixon Administration's center, he prefers to consider himself "result oriented," an empirical, professional problem solver. When he met the press just after his appointment to the Cabinet in December 1968, he said that he was "a generalist," and added that he hoped the President would seek his advice on matters outside the narrow Labor Department...

...team presented the report personally to the President. It called the Cambodia operation a certain short-term military success that helped ensure that U.S. troops would be withdrawn from South Viet Nam on schedule, or possibly even faster.

...Nigger Lover." Three weeks before his trial began, Addonizio, a Democrat, ran a poor second in a field of seven contenders for the mayoralty, for which candidates campaign without party endorsement. The front runner, whom he must overtake in the final vote next week, is a 38-year-old black city engineer named Kenneth Gibson, an independent. In the first-round voting, Gibson's total was double that of Addonizio, but he fell short of a majority. In the unsubtle world of Newark politics, the key figures may be the first-round totals: 48,874 for the four white...
