...being a President on the run. To dramatize his grasp of foreign affairs, he flew to Peking and had a useful talk with Chairman Mao, only to draw yawns back home. To underscore his presidential decisiveness, he drastically reshuffled his Cabinet, managing only to project a picture of presidential disarray. Instead of appearing to be the man to beat, the natural stance of an incumbent President, Ford looked more and more like a man who could be beaten. In this precarious state, Ford last week prepared to deal with three politically explosive issues-taxes, energy and labor relations...

Professionals in both parties give him an outside...

As one Ford supporter said of last week's shakeup: "The only regret I have is that it leaves the White House in complete disarray. Dick Cheney has got a big job ahead of him." Perhaps the most complicated task will be to harness the competing egos and in-'fighting that characterize Ford's staff...
