...oozing away. The Middle East plan fizzled. Then Clark, with hardly a word to the State Department, decided to fire Arms Control Director Eugene Rostow and replace him with Kenneth Adelman, a young hard-liner whose slender credentials caused an uproar on Capitol Hill. Two weeks ago, State Department Loyalist Philip Habib was replaced as Middle East envoy by Robert McFarlane, Clark's deputy at the National Security Council. Although he will report to Shultz, McFarlane, in a convoluted arrangement, will remain an assistant to Clark. In both cases, the White House acted out of a sense of impatience...
...TIME'S White House correspondent in 1981. Familiarity with the Reagan team certainly did not breed contempt in him; neither did it render him unwilling to make tough judgments. He depicts Presidential Counsellor Edwin Meese as deceitful and ineffectual, Deputy Chief of Staff Michael Deaver as a plodding loyalist, National Security Adviser William Clark as a tough conniver, and Chief of Staff Baker as a game player with few deeply held beliefs...
Enders' successor, Motley, is considered too inexperienced in the State Department to exert the kind of influence that got Enders into trouble. Motley, moreover, is regarded as a Reagan loyalist unlikely to have differences with the White House. Still, Motley has been blunt-spoken and independent in Brasilia.

They expected 35 takers but accepted...
TRIBLE PLAY. The race in Virginia for Senator Harry Byrd's vacated Senate seat is at the top of the White House most-wanted list. But what looked in May like assured ascension for three-term Republican Congressman Paul Trible, 35, a letter-perfect Reagan loyalist, has turned into a neck-and-neck finish with Democrat Richard Davis, 61, the state's Lieutenant Governor. With a statistically insignificant two points between them in the latest polls, neither candidate leads. The boyish-looking Trible, who stalked the Republican nomination for two years, is viewed by some as transparently ambitious...
