European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - September 8, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 10 columns David Broder the stars and stripes Bush s Cabinet would be very in Quoyle like the great mystery of Why and How Gorge Bush chose Dan Quayle As his running male is deep ened if you look at the other men Bush has picked Fortis Cabinet and his administration. More than any other non incumbent candidate in memory Bush has signalled the makeup of the government he would head. And its principal figures Are notably in Quayle like in their characteristics. Bush has tipped his hand by playing an influential role in the recent appointment i to the Reagan Cabinet of the men who would almost certainly stay on to enforce the Laws manage the Economy and set National education policy in his administration. Further he has encouraged informed speculation about the men who might run the White House staff and the stale depart ment set the budget and Lead the defense department if he is elected in november. Unlike Quayle they Are people with Strong academic political and in Many cases business credentials exemplars in most eases of the self same re publican establishment that produced Bush. Few of Ihm Are baby Boomers. Their backgrounds suggest that while the platform an opening Agenda of a Bush administration would be largely a legacy of Ronald Reagan s conservative populism its Day to Day operations and future course would he shaped by the political descendants of the moneyed moderates who served under such traditionalist republicans As Dwight d. Eisenhower Richard m. Nixon and Gerald r. Ford. The new attorney general Richard Thornburgh graduate of Yale and the University of Pennsylvania Law school was for eight years the governor of Penn Sylvania where business oriented conservatism has co existed with a Strong commitment to civil rights under succession of moderate governors going Back to Bui Scranton. The new Secretary of Treasury Nicholas f. Brady graduate of Yale and Harvard Law school is the former co chairman of the Dillon read investment firm a senior Wall Street figure. Brady served briefly in the . Senate by appointment of new Jersey Cov Thomas h. Kean Bush s Keynoter and the chief advocate of the Republican politics of  the new Secretary of education Lauro f. Cavazo is the first hispanic in the Cabinet a non partisan figure with democratic leanings and Gilt Edge credentials a  Iowa state University a professor of Anatomy and Dean of Medicine at Tufts University and most recently president of Texas tech. Unless they stumble badly in their new responsibilities they Are Likely to be asked to stay on in a Bush administration. James a. Baker Iii graduate of Princeton and the George will University of Texas Law school is a former Whitehouse chief of staff and former Secretary of Treasury now chairman of Bush s Campaign. A Man known for his negotiating skill with Congress he has made no secret of his interest in applying his talents to he world stage As Secretary of state. Bush will not deny him nor does he have any Reasoner inclination to replace his own chief of staff Craig l. Fuller graduate of Urcla and Occidental who was the Cabinet Secretary in the first Reagan White House. The prospective Holder of the key Post As director of the office of management and budget is Richard , Holder of two Harvard degrees protege of the establishment Arian figure Elliot l. Richardson and Baker s Deputy at both the Reagan White House an the Treasury. Daman is now lending his talents to a Wall Street firm Shearson Lehman Bros. To round out this formidable assemblage the favorite for Secretary of defense in a Bush administration is former sen. John o. Tower of Texas a graduate of Southern methodist University and former professor of political science. Tower has embellished his credentials As past chairman of the armed services committee with a spell of work on the arms control delegation in Geneva. Of course Bush May decide he does not need a new Pentagon chief because the widely respected Frank c. Carlucci graduate of Princeton and Harvard and pos Sessor of a 32-year resume in government spanning a dozen sensitive Domestic and foreign assignments is still fresh in the Post. The remarkable thing about this group is its homogeneity. Darman and Fuller Are the precocious pair one 45 the other 37. The other five Are Between 56 and 62.whatever one thinks of that pattern.

At the Bottom of he pile is sen Chic Hecht r-nev., struggling to hold his Senate seat. But funny thing is happening to him on his Way to oblivion. He is climbing Back int Contention by being ridiculed excessively. True it is a Short commute from his current standing to oblivion. Few Ameri cans have heard of him. However the Wall Street journal has noticed Seebt it recently ran a merry article making fun of him As a barrel of gaffes and the Senate s Rodney Dangerfield who gels no respect. The article noted thai Early in his term some congressmen and staffers did not recognize him As a senator whose gaffes were those that he once said he debated a soviet official about diametric materialism that when he was asked to name his closest Senate friends he cited Oklahoma s Bob Nickles whose name is Don.
