. - Are we doing right
LAn by our President?
By Tom Tiede
WASHINGTON - (NEA) - Author Joe McGinnis, cur-
rently writing a book about American heroes, tells the story
of a woman horse fan attending last year's Belmont Stakes.
After Secretariat won it, and thereby the coveted Triple
Crown, the lady was so thrilled by the animal she remarked:
"He restores my faith in humanity."
The tale, supposedly true, is more than just a snicker. It s a
commentary on a people so starved for something to believe
in, even a horse will do. I'm reminded of that now that the
new president has replaced Secretariat as the national hero
of the moment; I'm reminded because the lionization of
Gerald Ford, currently the vogue, is in some ways as inex-
plicable and about as sophisticated as that bag of words
showered on the race track champion.
Americans have long created their heroes out of the scan-
tiest of reasons, but seldom more weeny than for President
Ford. This is not to say the new man doesn't deserve good
wishes and some respect, but certainly not yet canonization.
“What a hero one can be without moving a finger, said
Thoreau, who could have been thinking of Jerry Ford. Over-
night the fellow has become, in the eyes of the star gazers
and rhetoric reporters, a sort of super who suddenly but
nonetheless clearly combines the qualities of Eisenhower
and Truman.
The adulation is especially saccharine in Washington.
Nothing moves the natives here so much as an exciting new
face, or as in Ford’s case an unexciting old face seen anew.
The politicos are cranking out complimentary essays as if
each of them knew all along, for the last quarter century,
that good old Jerry had the stuff of royalty. Never mind that
for 25 years in Congress many of his peers viewed Ford as
nothing more extraordinary than “a very cooperative man,”
he is now, instantly, “a great man,” a “solid pillar of deter-
mination,” and, no kidding, according to one colleague,
“maybe the finest man ever to be president.” Eat your heart
out, Abe Lincoln.
Much of this excess was to be expected. Ours is an age of
skepticism where the normal sources of heroes are drying
up. The best-known soldier in Vietnam was Lt. William
Calley. Most people remember Buck Rogers, but not Buzz
Aldrin. Henry Aaron is no Babe Ruth, Mark Spitz couldn’t
hold Johnny Weismuller’s jockstrap. And certainly Richard
Nixon did little to improve the lot of gallant men. Indeed,
after Nixon, the nation could be expected to fall in love with
any successor, such is the way of people mending broken
hearts.
Yet if the flattery for Gerald Ford can be understood, it
should not be condoned. At least not until there is some rea-
son other than relief. For all his time in public life, he is still
largely an unknown quantity. Apart from some apparently
and altogether normal human qualities, we don’t know what
kind of man he is or president he will be. We are told he is de-
cent, but we are also told that in 21/2 decades as a congress-
man he never authored a single piece of major legislation. If
decency were enough, most people in the land would be
heroes; I suggest a president needs much more.
I say this not to spite Mr. Ford, but for his benefit. The na-
tion’s habit of building men up to grandeur, only to gleefully
throw stones when they tumble, is unkind. Besides this, no
president should be boxed into corners created by popular
sentiment; flexibility is the key to successful leadership but
already it’s as if the giddy nation would disown Mr. Ford if
he dared smoke in public. Finally, it is disastrous for a peo-
ple to become so preoccupied with one man, lest they forget
he is, afterall, only one man.
Jerry Ford has a unique opportunity today. As Henry
Kissinger says, greatness is lying in the streets of Washing-
ton waiting to be picked up. It is to be hoped the new Presi-
dent will seize the chance. Meanwhile, what he needs is ad-
vice not adjectives; and what the rest of us need is not a hero *
to count on but someone to count on us.

Why Not Accept the
Responsibility?
The purpose of the Clean Air Act of 1970 can only be described as laudable
in the extreme. What politician or any other right-thinking citizen could be a-
gainst maintaining the purity of the air we breathe? Since 1970, the Supreme
Court has subsequently ruled that there should be no industrial installation or a
activity which results in a "significant deterioration" of air quality, with typi -
cal Olympian disregard for "mundane" details, the Court failed to define what
it would consider to be significant.
As The Wall Street Journal points out, the Federal Environmental Protec -
tion Agency (EPA) has been wrestling with the problem of how to carry out
the law as interpreted by the Court. After all, another automobile on the road
or another human being added to the population would presumably contribute
some infinitesimal quality of impurities to the air. To escape its dilemma, the
EPA has tossed the hot potato to the states, with the ruling that it will be up
to them individually to decide how much air degradation should be allowed up
to the limits of established federal air quality standards.
It seems to us Congress should clarify the Supreme Court's unworkable air
quality ruling and permit the nation to get on with the business of living, which
it surely needs to do.
