Charming Autocrat. The shake-up at Black Rock, as the CBS glass-and-granite monolith on Sixth Avenue is known, caught the broadcast industry by surprise-including senior executives at CBS. "This comes as a complete bolt out of the blue," said a corporate spokesman, struggling to explain the changes. What everyone wanted to know was: Why? Why had Taylor been fired after leading CBS to ever greater financial success and presumably having been selected by Paley to succeed him? Why had Backe, who had no experience in broadcasting-the heart of CBS's operations-been chosen...
...service basis, with analysts paid between $10 and $25 and hour according to Guy J. Ciannavei '55, manager of the computing center.

With political reverberations over his Cabinet shuffle of two weeks earlier not yet stilled, the President obviously could hardly afford a second crisis. Thus he was expected to do what he could to assuage Moynihan and keep him on the job. Similarly, a few days earlier, the President had had to mollify Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who had privately complained that the Administration was not giving him full backing in his confrontation with the House Select Committee on Intelligence...
Ford's big shake-up was getting bad press notices. Perhaps the severest cut of all came from Columnist Jerald terHorst, his former press secretary who quit after the President pardoned Richard Nixon. TerHorst wrote that his old boss-and good friend still-has proved too "heavyhanded" in many of his major moves, including the Nixon pardon, the Mayaguez affair and the shakeup. He has acted, terHorst wrote, as though he feared that "anything less than full force might be mistaken as a sign of weakness or timidity. When the man stamps, he stamps hard...
