"It doesn't bother him to say 'I don't know,' " observes White House Aide Michael Duval. Much to the distress of some of his advisers, Ford has been largely content to allow Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to dominate the headlines on foreign affairs. "He just doesn't feel the need to compete with...
