...nation long saturated with theatrics in Washington, the spectacle was fascinating. Easy-going Bert Lance, the country slicker whose financial low jinks as a Georgia banker had deeply imperiled his survival as Jimmy Carter's most intimate and visible Cabinet official, had turned from an amiable Teddy-bear figure into a charging grizzly. Seizing his long-promised day in court, the man widely considered doomed tore into his tormentors, sent a senatorial committee into confusion in nationally televised hearings and gave himself, however temporarily, a fighting chance to remain in office in big, bad Washington...
Authorities have the testimony of three accomplices in the murders. They also have two .22-cal. weapons that one accomplice says were used in the killings; a gun fanatic, he could not bear to follow Ullo's orders to dispose of the pistols and instead stashed them in a safe.

He was one of the President's top economic advisers, his affable and reassuring ambassador to the business community and his most effective emissary to Capitol Hill. A great, shambling, unassuming bear of a man (6 ft. 4 in., 235 Ibs.), Lance loved to swap jokes, slap backs and artfully cajole the powerbrokers to go along with Jimmy. More important, Lance was Carter's confidant. He was there to puff around the tennis court when the President summoned, or simply...
