...last week he may have found his format. Of all things, it was the budget. He walked through its corridors of forbidding figures with brisk confidence. He expertly handled hours of briefings for officials and newsmen. He rarely had to refer to his notes or call on his aides. Ford not only knew his budget, he felt it, found romance in the balance sheets. There was a kind of boardroom eloquence about the President in this environment, moving from table to chart, talking of dollars and sense. Even those who disagree philosophically with Ford admitted that he had done...

...director of Nixon's Urban Affairs Council ended a year after his memo urging a period of "benign neglect" of the racial issue was leaked to the press in 1970. Moynihan still bristles at what he regards as widespread misinterpretation of that phrase. It did not, he insists, refer to less Government attention to civil rights, but to a need for more care, at a time of high racial tension, to avoid situations "in which extremists of either race are given opportunities for martyrdom" ?such as the 1969 Chicago police raid on the Black Panthers...

...force and 7% of Levi Strauss's are women. A T & T's booklets no longer refer to operators as she and managers as he. Businessmen are increasingly scouting for women management trainees, and women are rising fast in the nation's graduate business schools. Between 1971 and 1975, the percentage of women in the incoming business class rose from 4% to 24% at Pennsylvania's Wharton, 5% to 19% at Stanford, and 6% to 33% at Columbia...

...Camp Pendleton wondering whether we would take a few hundred refugees. Something about their wanting to see where it all began. Uncle Sam would build the Quonset huts (I can just see it--Bundy House, Rostow House) if we would provide some kind of training. I told Dan to refer the guy to Bob Wood. But you can see why we need to move fast...
