Businessmen regard Regan as sensitive to their need to raise new capital to spur investment, industrial growth and productivity-all the things that the "Reaganauts" claim must be done if inflation is to be stemmed and the economy steered along a path of robust recovery. There are, however, some reservations about Regan among career officials at Treasury. As Merrill Lynch's chairman, he rarely expressed thoughts about economic policies beyond stating their impact on the securities industry.

...faculty concern was that the exchange of ideas and research among colleagues would dry up as professors came to regard their research as a trade secret. Said Microbiologist Jonathan Beckwith: "I already know of several other universities where people within the same department won't communicate with one another because they are directors of competing companies outside the university." Even more disturbing was the danger that grants of promotion or time off for company-connected professors might be seen by colleagues as commercial favoritism. The potential for conflict of interest was obvious this month as the University of California...
