"Once those are isolated, we can suggest techniques for dealing with them." One technique is to make...
Shultz, a mild-mannered and courteous man who nevertheless argued his free-market principles with surpassing stubbornness, came to that authority by his loyalty to the President and skill at tacking; he is the last member of the original Nixon Cabinet still in high office. Shultz was dean of the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business when he was named the Administration's first Secretary of Labor in 1968. After serving with quiet competence in that job, he was put in charge of the newly created Office of Management and Budget...
