Bhutto’s whirlwind rise reshapes Pakistan government
In Rawalpindi Bhutto moves swiftly after taking office sweeping aside Yahya Khan’s junta and reshaping leadership. He outsizes the old guard by retiring generals, moving East Pakistanis under house arrest, and promising reforms to appeal to the common man while banning corporal punishment and cutting his own salary.
