ty. What he found attractive
about the job, besides the
responsibility that comes
with it, is the "opportunity to
manage an organization of
this size." And what is his
plan of action? "My approach
in management is team-
oriented. My goal is to build
a strong team in this depart-
ment and pay a lot of atten-
tion to managing people."
Ron Thayer, executive
secretary to Gov. Blanchard,
is familiar with Solomon's
capabilities. The two met dur-
ing Blanchard's congressional
stint. He said Solomon will do
"a super job."
"He's a very committed,
dedicated, goal-oriented in-
dividual. He sets out specific
goals and objectives for
himself and achieves them."
Thayer said the governor has
expressed confidence in
Solomon and "relies on
Shelby's instincts to make
decisions."
Solomon said he was "total-
ly surprised" when the gover-
nor called him to rejoin his
team. But, said, Solomon "it's
good to be closer to home." His
parents, Ernie and Gloria
Solomon of Franklin, were
equally happy to have him
back. Both said they were pro-
ud of his getting the appoint-
ment. "I was pleased that the
governor felt as highly as he
did about Shelby for the ap-
pointment," the elder
Solomon said. "I was highly
honored?'
The new budget director
said he had no political ambi-
tions beyond his current of-
fice, and is happy to be in a
position to "make a difference
and have an impact on im-
proving things in the state."
But if he ever decided to run
for office, his parents would be
behind him 100 percent.

anxious husband, who has
conducted a three-year public
relations campaign to win her
release from the Soviet
Union, would like her to app-
ly for her American visa to
hurry the process.
If Svetlana receives the of-
ficial notice today or Monday,
Braun hopes that she will ar-
rive in Detroit in two-three
weeks.If she doesn't receive
the notice, Braun plans to
resume the pressure cam-
paign again next week, lining
up people to call the Soviet
Embassy in Washington
about their case.
Braun credits congressional
support from Carl Levin,
Sander Levin and Bob Carr of
Michigan, Jay Rockefeller of
West Virginia and others for
pressuring the Soviets. "An
embassy official told a
Rockefeller aide in July that
Svetlana had received per-
mission, and Soviet lawyers
told the American Bar
Association the same thing,"
Braun says. Word was also
passed to Rep. Carr, who
warned Braun to be careful in
what he told the news media
and allow the case to proceed
through the Soviet
bureaucracy.
Braun hopes to see the
beginning of the end of that
bureaucratic red tape this
weekend.

Jackson's Candidacy
Continued from Page 7
ween the competing groups.
It seems to be counting on the
fact that as a "black can-
didate," Jesse Jackson is
unelectable. According to this
view, there is therefore no
need to placate the Jews and
take the risk of alienating
blacks by dealing with
Jackson's embarrassing, but
politically tangential, anti-
Semitism. The key goal, ac-
cording to these politicians, is
to ensure that the eventual
Democratic candidate for
president will be one both
blacks and Jews could
support.
Unfortunately for the par-
ty, Jesse Jackson is not just
a "black" candidate. Jackson
has very shrewdly moved to
align himself with the more
destructive elements of tradi-
tional American poplism. The
variant of populism that was
born in the Great Plains dur-
ing the 19th Century, and
which Jackson has tapped for
support, was built in large
part around hostility towards
foreigners, Jews and big
business. Based upon his
public pronouncements and
the policies that he espouses,
it is evident that Jesse
Jackson's campaign is struc-
tured around these very same
themes. Simply stated, Mr.
Jackson stumps around the
country playing a melody
about the evils of corporate
America and the need to pro-
tect the American economy
from the Asian/foreign
threat, with anti-Semitism as
