Blacks and Jews in Atlanta regard the club as an irritant but not cause for much outrage. Since 1867, Atlanta's Jews have had their own Standard Club, which admitted its first gentile member only last September. In fact, Atlanta's Big Mules could take some comfort from the fact that one of Standard's members, Lawyer Robert Lipshutz, plans to resign his membership as soon as Carter names him White House counsel...
Walter Leonard has allowed major appointments and promotion in associate and assistant deanships to slip by without regard to AA. He has been silent on the controversial non-tenure of Afro-American scholar Ephraim Issac. He has been given credit for increasing the number of Law School blacks (Crimson, Oct. 5, 1976) with no mention of the student activism which initiated and supported increased admissions.

Brown's choice as Defense Secretary pleased many bureaucrats at both the Pentagon and State Department.

Colleagues who have watched Schultze and the President-elect work together are struck by their rapport. Says Joseph Pechman, an informal Carter adviser and a member of TIME'S Board of Economists: "When Charlie talks, Carter listens. There's a special chemistry between them...
...Schultze sometimes complained that he had no time for any recreational activity except sleeping. In 1968 he resigned to teach at the University of Maryland and become a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, where he has produced a series of critical analyses of almost every federal department. Colleagues regard him as witty and gregarious, particularly after a few beers, when he can be persuaded to sing Lilli Marlene in flawless German...
