Mayo, a skilled economist with nearly 20 years of federal service, is not an innovator, a policymaker or an advocate who can fight effectively for his point of view. Shultz is all three. Further, Mayo has not had a private conversation with Nixon for several months; Shultz has had ready access to the President...

Several big-leaguers needed more than greenies to keep from turning red when asked about the book. St. Louis...
...scarves. The wind had come up off the ocean and it was wrecking everybody's hair. People were standing there with their hands pressed against their heads as if the place had been struck by a brain-piercing ray from the Purple Dimension."
