...under its new (since April 1977) chairman, A. Daniel O'Neal, 42, the ICC is now solidly for deregulation. A soft-voiced, informal lawyer (he wears short-sleeved shirts even in January) from Bremerton, Wash., O'Neal learned the ICC's operations as a consumer-minded staff member of the Senate Commerce Committee. He was named to the then eleven-member ICC (since reduced to six) by President Nixon in 1973, but it was not until Jimmy Carter made him chairman that he drew a bead on the set of regulations that had almost stamped out price...

He buries himself in idealistic lawyering and psychoanalysis, but remains immune not only to sex but even to quite innocent social overtures. Then one day in Central Park he encounters Marcie (Candice Bergen). Since she seems to have some of Jenny's smart-mouthed spirit, he manages at last to accept...
