Logical Choice. Shortly after Finch was appointed Secretary of HEW, he dutifully checked with the American Medical Association about whom it would prefer for the Assistant Secretary's job. The association proposed Dr. Clarke Wescoe, outgoing chancellor of the University of Kansas. When Finch called Wescoe, he found that he was unavailable. Having done the A.M.A.'s bidding -and miffed that the A.M.A. had not checked to see whether its candidate was willing-Finch contacted Knowles...

...public areas are concerned, word was passed to the National Collection of the Fine Arts, which furnishes the West Wing's lobby and pressrooms, that the Nixons would prefer something not quite so abstract as the Tobeys and Youngermans featured there under Lady Bird's tenancy. Those particular paintings have consequently vanished, but their replacements are still works by contemporary Americans. The show that has been on during past months includes Wolf Kahn's diffused Yellow House (1967), Roy Moyer's semi-abstract Cypresses (1968), John Button's Hopperesque Lake Erie (1968), and an assortment...
