' "Underlining their close connection, the vice president referred to Greenspan by his first name seven times in the nine-paragraph article. There was this: "Alan's general notion that the federal government is too big and spends too much money -- we've agreed on that point since we both worked in the Ford administration more than 30 years ago.
