Camilla Newman, whose most interesting feature is her name, is for most of the book just another pretty face fronting an ambitious, competitive young lawyer.

Then there was the private bill for Mrs. Camilla Hester of Foley, Ala. She is a widow who has been unjustly denied a federal pension because of legal complexities. The bill contained a couple of quirks that would establish bad pension precedents. The President felt compelled to reject it with his 61st veto. Mrs. Hester, who has been leaning toward Ford in this campaign, allowed as how she was "disappointed." She seemed understanding. But who knows how Mrs. Hester and her family will vote...
