...wing of the party or another. They include outgoing Washington Governor Daniel Evans and Wisconsin G.O.P. Committeeman Ody Fish, who both supported Ford, and Utah Republican State Chairman Dick Richards, an early Reagan backer. Among the more remote possibilities for the job is Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. "Rummy" is one of the very few Ford Cabinet members who openly talks of a future in elective politics (see box page 24). But at 44, with scant savings and three children in school, he is more interested in taking a lucrative job in private industry and making some big money...
...Medicine (David Baltimore). Another received one of the fatter pay raises in history (TV Anchor Woman Barbara Walters). One rose from U.S. Ambassador to NATO to Secretary of Defense (Donald Rumsfeld).

They've buried Reagan more times this year than they resurrected Muskie in '72, and while claiming the Schweiker gambit was Reagan's only hope to stave off Invincible Jerry, they say it won't make any difference...
...Evans-Novak tandem's worst failing since Ford's accession is the way they cynically trade inside information for certain politicians' private purposes. Again and again they've blasted certain guys on the White House staff as part of chief source Rumsfeld's power game. They're real tight, too, with Treasury Secretary William Simon, who they've boosted for vice-president since the year bagan...
