...departure is unlikely to change Administration economic policy much. The White House did not immediately announce a successor, but the leading candidate by far is Energy Czar William E. Simon (the only other names being mentioned are Roy Ash, director of the Office of Management and Budget, and John Dunlop, head of the Cost of Living Council). Simon is both a free-market advocate and an ardent admirer of Shultz, who persuaded him to come to Washington 15 months ago as No. 2 man at Treasury. Simon still nominally holds that post even while running the Federal Energy Office...
...plant doctors often benefit mightily from basic ignorance. A New York housewife recently called Horticulturalist Peter Dunlop wailing that there was a pink snake in her plant. Dunlop, incredulous, asked how long it was, three feet, two, one? It turned out to be an inchworm. Another New York housewife recently expended the last half-gallon of gas in the family car to rush her ailing plant to the nearest cactus clinic. "It's stopped growing," she cried, "and the leaves keep falling off. I've tried everything, from Mozart to peat moss. What am I doing wrong...
...living in slums, so they can get a better idea of how most people in the universe live. Samuel Huntington, the theorist of forced-draft urbanization (bombing people's villages so they have to move to cities) will be sent to Vietnam to be forced-draft urbanized. John T. Dunlop, who used to have Rosovsky's job before he moved on to holding the line on prices, will have a slot waiting for him when he comes back. Of course, the slot won't be just what Dunlop's used to, because before he does anything else, he'll want...
...Administration has not given up the anti-inflation game entirely. John Dunlop, director of the C.O.L.C., is known as a muscular arm-twister who has been able to quash price increases with subtle combinations of browbeating and incentives. Dunlop, for instance, decontrolled such industries as autos, rubber and fertilizer in exchange for promises that executives would voluntarily hold down their prices and, in some cases, step up their output. Recently he said that he might urge the Administration, perhaps through the Federal Energy Office, to allocate scarce building materials to parts of the country where construction unions agree to only...
Brooks shares something else with Dunlop a penchant for commuting back and forth to Washington. Brooks is president of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and serves on a variety of government groups, in clouding a commission dealing with scientific and technological cooperation with the Soviet Union...
