...housekeeping chores are over and the round of more substantive meetings begins. One day last week the first visitor was Ambassador to Saudi Arabia John West. Then Vance discussed arms-limitation issues with SALT Negotiator Paul Warnke; Leslie Gelb, director of the Bureau of Politico-Military Affairs; Legal Adviser Herb Hansell, and Nimetz. Next in order came Dutch Foreign Minister Christoph van der Klaauw, CBS Correspondent Richard Hottelet, and a White House meeting on SALT between the President and Brzezinski.

Hirschfeld, a millionaire garage contractor, has already spend enough money to buy the Capitol dome in his biennial attempts to win a seat of his own. And O'Dwyer, a die-hard politico, has maneuvered his way through an entire dormitory of strange bedfellows in his continuing pursuit of a free ticket to Washington. Of course, neither ever succeeds, but neither do they ever admit defeat. Campaigning has become for them, as for so many others, an end in itself...
From Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger '50 and Secretary of Commerce Elliot A. Richardson '43--who weigh in at $66,000 per year--to Olga C. Cumberland, the Private Secretary to the Director of the Bureau of Politico-Military Affairs ($15,000 to $20,000 range of level G.S. 10) the Plum Book has them...
