Last week's appointments indicate that Ford wants to move out many of the people who were close to Nixon in his last months. Ford's selection of Republican National Committee Chairman George Bush as chief of the U.S. mission in Peking, and Presidential Economic Counsellor Kenneth Rush as ambassador to Paris, served this purpose while filling important diplomatic posts with men of stature.
