TREASURY SECRETARY JOHN CONNALLY, as head of the Cost of Living Council, has overall authority to wheedle, cajole, crack heads and otherwise employ his considerable political skills in imposing the freeze.

He urged stronger disciplinary measures by the profession itself, for the "tiny fragment" of lawyers who employ more adrenaline than judgment in court (see box). He also criticized the actions of some journalists and students who, he maintained, contributed to the rising swell of public incivility.
