...pinched eyes of Nixon loyalists around this city, it probably seemed hopeless: there was no apparent order, and very little secrecy. But it all represented, one would hope, the first whiff of the Federal Government again beginning to function as it should. Right or wrong, Ford was making firm decisions. The CIA flap, however embarrassing, indicated that the U.S. was coming to grips with the realities of the world and the national mood.
