...more subtly. A better example of how Bok's mechanisms could work is in the University's ambitious plan to work with the Department of Health, Education and Welfare in a program for the nation's health managers. For its part of the $ 5-million five-year contract with HEW to teach people with jobs ranging from Blue Cross rate-setters to environmental policy-makers, the University may get to drive home its points about the detriments of HEW-oriented legislation. A possibility would be to show the dangers in health manpower legislation which would dictate to medical schools where...
...programs pan out or not is problematic at this point. But the program does sound like a logical move in a world of government bureaucracies that is plagued with illogic.

For the same reason, the Republican right wing, which has found several of Ford's appointments too liberal for its liking, is at first look pleased with the selection. Those who know Mathews well think both groups...

HEW regional directors will require "necessary" funding for girls' teams and will be looking for rough equality in travel and uniform allowances, training facilities and coaching. The rule on athletic scholarships is even vaguer: there must be "reasonable opportunities" for women to receive as much aid as men based on the level of participation in school sports...
