...intellectual chief of the union's General Motors division, and Reuther's apparent favorite, Chrysler Department Head Douglas Fraser. When it seemed certain that Woodcock had garnered 13 of the U.A.W. executive board's 25 votes, Fraser bowed out gracefully. Last week he got his reward.

Nor was he bashful about making his policy preferences known. Carter has suggested voluntary wage and price guidelines, rather than formal controls, to curb inflation. Meany made it clear at a news conference last week that...
Second, I plan to appoint diplomatic officials who have superb credentials, strictly on the basis of merit, not reward people for political favors. And that's a commitment that I've made on my word of honor. I'm not going to break...
