Such cat-and-mouse games caused another mishap last week. The U.S. frigate Harold E. Holt had been shadowing one of the largest ships in the Soviet navy, the 43,000-ton aircraft carrier Minsk, during what the U.S. described as "routine surveillance operations" in the South China Sea. Yet even the Pentagon version of the story suggested that the Holt had been unnecessarily provocative. With the Minsk dead in the water, her engines stopped, the Holt hoisted flags signaling that it was passing the Minsk on the starboard side. The Minsk hoisted flags warning the Holt to stay away...
Smith also had to worry about Federal Judge Harold Greene. Only last month, Greene ruled that the Justice Department "ignored" the Ethics Act when it failed to seek appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate charges that Reagan campaign aides in 1980 had illegally acquired debate briefing papers and other documents from Jimmy Carter's campaign staff. Instead, Smith had his department conduct its own inquiry and merely issued a press release contending that it had found no "credible evidence" of any crime.

Geneen was intrigued and agreed to support an in-house "cultural revolution." Under the banner of slogans like "Make Certain" and "Buck a Day," Crosby created a system of quality managers throughout the company that has been adopted by other large corporations...
...long stretch of hospital time for reading. After an uncomfortable journalistic debut as a subeditor on that now defunct "independent" Communist journal The New Masses, Rovere was hired as a writer by William Shawn, then The New Yorker's managing editor. A few years later Shawn and Harold Ross, the magazine's founding editor, assigned him to write about politics as if he were a critic-reviewing a book or play. Thereafter, diffident and a bit owlish, the critic plied the provinces with nearly every would-be President from Thomas Dewey to Jimmy Carter. Rovere also found time...
