...Nixon-Ford tinge, as members of previous Republican administrations-reshuffle and reassemble. To the disappointment of fire-and-brimstone loyalists who dreamed of a Moral Majority-staffed White House, the only truly new face on the scene pushing for extreme government disembowelment is whiz-kid budget-slasher David A. Stockman; all other cabinet-level positions went to establishment administrators, bankers and the occasional crony. It's happened before, an aide says, and it'll happen again. "Jimmy Carter spent 1976 campaigning against Washington, and look what he ended up with: Cy Vance, Lloyd Cutler, Harold Brown. When it comes time...

The book causing the stir is Wealth and Poverty (Basic Books; $16.95) by George Gilder, 41, a sociologist-turned-economist, who once wrote speeches for Nelson Rockefeller...
Washington insiders have already divided Reagan's economic advisers into two groups: the radical supply-siders, who include Budget Director David Stockman and New York Congressman Jack Kemp, and the moderate Republican conservatives led by Treasury Secretary Donald Regan. Weidenbaum is expected to join the moderates, who place a little more emphasis on the need to reduce the budget and a little less on large tax cuts...
