Another object of the shakeup: Rev. Theodore Hesburgh, president of the University of Notre Dame, revealed that he had been asked to resign as chairman of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission-and that he would do so.

A former Federal Aviation Administration chief in the Kennedy-Johnson era, Jeeb Halaby is well respected by his peers. "He's a dynamic speaker," said one, "and there's a little of the old Camelot about him." But there are others who note that it may take more than style to rescue...
