Nixon leads, Kissinger negotiates, while Treasury Defense and State gain influence over money oil trade and arms control. Reorganization fosters cross department collaboration and a livelier State Department. President Nixon has appointed 26 cabinet members, more than any president except Grant, signaling a fresh start.

Amnesty for Vietnam draft dodgers a political challenge
Walter T. Ridder weighs duties of citizens toward the state and the motivations of Vietnam era draft dodgers. He argues that blanket amnesty would unfairly group distinct motives from flight, to conscientious objection, to antiwar protest, and would overlook those who served or suffered in Vietnam. A targeted amnesty requires careful, imaginative policy.
