Well let me introduce you to the "sneak factor" of government It more than adequately answers this question and produces insight into the way modern American government is being run — indeed has to run Every modern White House e charneeds a sneaky acter who works against the enunciated policy This statement presupposes that enunciated policy is terribly flawed even dangerous because it was the product of campaign promises and rhetoric Such characters are paid to work up a sneaky program that appears consistent with campaign promises — but isn't when it's stripped of its varnish That's how tax increases got to be called "revenue enhancements" during Rea g high-profil- By Robert Lee Hotz Cox News Service Roy Bry has built a better mothball — an odorless colorless compound that protects woolen sweaters suits and trousers from hungry moths almost indefinitely Not surprisingly woolen mills and dry cleaners are beating a path to the door of the US Agricultural Research Service laboratory in Savannah Ga where the veteran entomologist works From a common soil fungus -- - one of hundreds sent to the lab by chemical companies every year — Bry has extracted a substance called avermectin which is lethal to the most moths voracious and beetles five times longer than conventional mothballs The discovery like so many scientific advances was an accident For pharmaceutical companies any chemical is a solution in search of the right problem and avermectin originally developed by Merck & Co Inc has proved to be the answer to many From it chemists first isolated gan's presidency Darman is only the latest practitioner of the "sneak factor" that has erupted during the last few administrations in Washington Modern campaigns heavy on advertising and public relations cause candidates to appeal to the selfish greedy indulgent "I want my Maypo" characteristics of the American voter Smart presidents know this isn't the way to run a country so they have to figure out a way to hedge their bets So they introduce the "sneak factor" by appointing Darmanesque characters Their job is to serve bad news to Americans with a tasty sauce hoping that they will not notice it on the way down The "sneak factor" exists in many American institutions Companies sell their goods and services with appealing advertising and promotion then leave the dirty work to stern agents when g airline recently knows what I mean It would be nice if politicians and business executives meant every word they said in campaigns and in advertising but they don't So the Dick Darmans of the world will be in great demand until government and business decide to become sneaky-clea- DALE CARNEGIE COURSE) in Effective Speaking -
