Slim Chance. By being named Secretary of the Navy, John H. Chafee has escaped temporary political limbo. Last November, he failed to win a fourth term as Governor of overwhelmingly Democratic Rhode Island, after pro posing a state income tax. At that time, his chances of getting a job in the Nixon Administration seemed slim indeed. He had backed George Romney's abortive bid for the presidential nomination. He then switched to Nelson Rockefeller, and finally, at the Miami Beach convention, openly opposed the nomination of Spiro Agnew for Vice President...
Nevertheless, his excellent administrative record placed him high on the appointment list. He has degrees from Yale and Harvard Law, and Navymen will find he retains the ruggedness demonstrated during his days in the Marine Corps, when he fought at Guadalcanal and Okinawa.

It was not long before he was one of Philadelphia's best-known TV personalities. He met Carson on a trip to New York, and Johnny hired him in 1958 as his sidekick on ABC's Who Do You Trust? In 1962 Carson took...
Last week Westin went, all right, but not for broke. Come March, he announced, he will leave PBL to take over as executive producer of ABC's nightly Frank Reynolds news show. Westin's new job will probably pay him between $50,000 and $60,000 a year (about what he earned at PBL). The imminent departure reinforced industry rumors that PBL will soon be going too. The Ford Foundation's TV consultant, Fred Friendly, would say only that "no decision has been reached at this time...
