...Joseph A. Califano Jr., the sharp-witted, liberal and independent-minded Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. His replacement, subject to Senate confirmation: Patricia Harris, head of the Department of Housing and Urban Development and first black woman in the Cabinet. Her successor at HUD has not been announced...
...candidates had turned down the job. (Another theory is that he has political ambitions.) It may also explain why he helped the Administration get the natural gas compromise bill through Congress last year−raising questions as to whether the chairman of the Fed should be getting into any subject as controversial as gas decontrol. But earlier this year, when the Administration tried to pressure him into raising interest rates, Miller flatly refused. Such high rates, he insisted, would be "unbecoming, unwise and unnecessary," and would run the risk of deepening the coming recession...
...bureaucracies and $141 billion more federal spending.

True, the essayists are earnest and erudite, and their prose is rarely worse than that required to win the fellowships and respect of academe. But the capital offenses are all here: the preening citations of the obvious: "In the film The Bride of Frankenstein, as Albert LaValley reminds us, Elsa Lanchester plays both Mary Shelley and the monstrous bride . . ."; the fancy notion among professors that authors and characters " articulate" rather than speak...
