...months ahead, Ziegler is expected to continue as Nixon's top personal adviser. The question remains of who will do the long, slogging hours of leg-and brainwork to develop White House policy on the whole galaxy of domestic problems, from national health insurance to welfare reform. That job had been done by John Ehrlichman, who directed the Domestic Council. Under him, the council boasted a staff of 75 and played an important role in shaping Nixon's domestic programs during the first term. Now the council is down to 26 staffers, and its influence has declined proportionately...

The N.F.L. has a staff of 28 professional investigators checking suspicious practices, and has succeeded in keeping pro football relatively scandal-free...
...Step for Reform. By law, street-name partnerships and the names of their parent institutions are registered with the clerks of the counties in which the nominees are based. Still it is difficult for the shareholders to penetrate the web of nominees' names to find who really controls his company. Even some Government agencies have failed to identify the institutions behind the nominees. When the FCC learned in 1969 that the banks were in violation of its 1% holding rule, it was because the banks themselves had confessed their error. The commission's specialists never had attempted...
