...their part, Administration insiders have questioned whether Egeberg knows what is going on in HEW. They complain that it took him eleven months to fill three of the department's five top health posts with nominees acceptable to the Administration. Critics charge that he has been too immersed in petty bickering with other HEW officials to do his own job. Egeberg claims to have the complete confidence of HEW Secretary Elliot Richardson. But Richardson has yet to make a public statement supporting Egeberg...
Many of the men who run Congress are stodgy and opposed to new ideas. But their age is only part of the problem. To get to the top they must be elected over and over again; generally those constituencies that give such automatic approval are in rural, one-party districts or are dominated by big-city machines. In either case their Congressmen are unlikely to be responsive to change and sensitive to the strong currents that buffet junior and more vulnerable colleagues from swing districts...
...Nevertheless, it reversed a longstanding lack of interest in the alliance that has worried U.S. defense planners for some time, and Washington was quick to show its gratitude. Laird pledged to seek a substantial increase in the U.S. defense budget for fiscal 1972-perhaps as much as $3 billion-part of which would benefit NATO.

They never worked past 8:30 p.m., and they were usually home in time for dinner with their unsuspecting families. Some psychologists theorized, however, that this sexual moonlighting was an illusory attempt to satisfy the modern needs for freedom, adventure and unhampered sexuality-particularly...
...confessing he's the King of England." In later years, says Khrushchev, even Stalin grew to fear his fellow Georgian and the power he wielded as absolute master of the vast Cheka, or secret-police, organization. The sweeping postwar purge of the Leningrad party, Khrushchev believes, was part of a scheme masterminded by Beria and his "battering ram," former Premier Georgy Malenkov; the object was to wreck the careers of a troika of promising young men whom they regarded as a threat to their own eventual ascendancy. Two of those men, N.A. Voznesensky and A.A. Kuznetsov, were arrested...
