WISCONSIN. Fifteen months ago, when Governor Patrick Lucey was named Ambassador to Mexico, he bequeathed to his successor, Democrat Martin Schreiber, a healthy state economy and a budget surplus projected to total $500 million by next June. To soak up the spare cash, Schreiber, a colorless career politician, proposed cutting property taxes by a modest $110 million and increasing state spending on water purification, schools and debt reduction.

Servan-Schreiber, 53, had used his magazine as an ideological soapbox for President Valery Giscard d'Estaing -whose centrist political strategy was badly mauled in last month's local elections (TIME, March 28). Largely because of the magazine's predictable politics and occasional drabness, some readers have shifted to a sprightly, aggressive rival, Le Point.
