Nixon also pushed ahead with a quest for "brains, judgment, creativity and youth" to fill some 2,000 secondary jobs. His transition headquarters in Manhattan and Washington are dispatching more than 75,000 letters to university presidents, business leaders and foundation heads soliciting nominations for such posts. Replies will be screened, then the information will be transcribed on tape for storage in Government computers. But Nixon Adviser John Ehrlichman was quick to assure: "Computers won't be picking people-people will be picking people."

Making Money. Ridgeway is even harsher in his judgment of the company of scholars. He agrees that there has been too large a shift into research. But what bothers him even more is the ethics of certain connections between the university and private industry or Government.
