...occasionally come through serendipity, they also result from initiative and melting into Carter's inner circle. National Political Correspondent Robert Ajemian has just spent a week traveling with Carter's chief political adviser, Hamilton Jordan, as he masterminded the preparation of background material and interviews for his boss. "He makes endless calls-to the low and the mighty," says Ajemian. "But any call from Jordan these days is a call from the bull's-eye of power." What Ajemian learned in the bull's-eye-as well as the latest gleanings of other TIME transition watchers...

Beside him, balancing thick black notebooks full of Cabinet profiles on his lap, was his young aide, Hamilton Jordan, in a sports shirt and safari jacket, looking just as casual as his boss.

Baker, as one of his assistants notes, sought the sentences against the carton executives "to drive home the point that price fixing is a serious crime." The clear implication: some other executives could join...
...Libya's archrival Egypt makes 12,000 Nasr autos a year under Fiat license; Gaddafi's Fiat connection gives him a new stick to shake at his neighbors to the east. And what about Editor Levi? Agnelli, who is still Fiat's-and Levi's-boss, said last week that he "would behave exactly the same way" if Levi and Gaddafi squared off again. But Gaddafi has a long memory-and 10% of Fiat...
