...opposition to the Nixon Administration. Initially, for example, he argued against the bailout of ailing Lockheed Aircraft with Government funds. In recent months, Packard has privately expressed irritation at taking orders from White House aides. But he did not resign out of any hard feelings. He exchanged letters of lavish praise with the President. He plans to stay for a while in Washington to advise Laird, who is looking for a replacement for him. Two replacements, in fact. Considering the burden of the job, the White House is asking Congress to approve a second Deputy Secretary of Defense...
Rewards and Penalties. Some do leave. But for those who stay-and most do-there are lavish rewards, including high salaries and the sense of belonging to a management elite. Standing at the head of that elite, Bergerac has great decision-making powers. Last week he was reviewing reports on the German economy. His assessment: "We expect some growth next year, but not much. If things get really bad, we shall cut back on automotive products, but may actually pick up in telecommunications."

"She needed people to whom she was the one and only and upon whom she could lavish help, attention, tenderness." With two such friends, Nancy Cook, a Democratic party worker, and Marion Dickerman, a teacher, she even built a house near Hyde Park. She considered it home; linen was initialed jointly as EMN. Later the three quarreled, and Eleanor turned to younger proteges. Among them was young...
