...President is... openly reducing the institutional prestige and status of the Cabinet and drawing into the White House proper... the largest palace guard in history." Time's cover story last June 8, "Nixon's Palace Guard," noted that the key figures around Nixon-Staff Chief Bob Haldeman, Domestic Affairs Aide John Ehrlichman, and National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger -had variously acquired the nicknames: "the Berlin Wall," "all the King's Krauts," "the throne nursers," "the Praetorian Gaurd," and "the Germans...
...American embassy dinner in Saigon recently, Presidential Aides H.R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman dished out a few unappetizing warnings to South Viet Nam's Economics Minister Pham Kim Ngoc. Unless something was done about Saigon's faltering economy, Nixon's men said, an unhappy U.S. Congress might sharply curtail American aid. Congress has reason to be concerned.

What v. How. Thus it is doubtful that Mayo could have mustered the weight to hold his own against men like Ehrlichman and H.R. Haldeman, two of the aides closest to Nixon. Shultz is expected to have that clout. Moreover, Shultz's new deputy, Weinberger, though on the FTC for only six months, has fast established a reputation as a tough, reform-minded administrator. Like Shultz, Weinberger owes his selection to merit and performance rather than long personal service to the President. He too may bring a new viewpoint to White House deliberations...
...business management at the very highest level into the Executive Branch of Government." But separating goals from their execution may be more difficult than it sounds. On paper, Ehrlichman and Shultz will be equals, each with his own staff, each with his own line of communication to the President. Haldeman will continue as overall coordinator of White House activities. How the setup works out will depend on the durability and chemistry of the individuals involved. It will be Ehrlichman's task to pull together and reconcile the aspirations of the individual operating such departments as HEW, Transportation, and Housing...
