...Federal Trade Commission, Weinberger did such a good job reorganizing the agency as the consumer's friend that he even won praise from Ralph Nader, rare for a Nixon appointee.

Already gone is Nixon's former chief legislative aide, Clark MacGregor, who served as director of the Committee for the Re-Election of the President and will accept a presumably lucrative vice presidency with United Aircraft Corp. He will be the top contact man with Washington for the firm...
