...resignation of Treasury Secretary Michael Blumenthal and the shift of G. William Miller from the chairmanship of the Federal Reserve Board to Blumenthal's job at Treasury, the nation's first-string economic team has been radically altered. TIME Business Correspondent George Taber analyzes the prospective impact of these changes...
Veil has made a strong public impact ever since President Valery Giscard d'Estaing picked her from a senior judicial post to serve in his Cabinet in 1974. A mother of three, she strenuously campaigned against tobacco and notorious French alcoholism, liberalized rules governing contraception, and successfully led a long and bitter legislative campaign for legal abortion.

It then could waive procedural requirements for endless hearings imposed by a maze of environmental, safety and other laws...
...like to make a preliminary remark: the U.S. is an oil-producing country; it has more oil than Mexico. But does the U.S. sell its oil at a lower price? We have to link our price to the price of OPEC because otherwise we will only get the negative impact of the oil hike and not the positive effects. We act accordingly. But what Mexico does is to stay out of the speculative spot market. Our sales respect the price that has been fixed. We hate speculation.
