...Plains, Ga., where her father was a mechanic. He died when she was 13, and she helped to oversee the three younger children while her mother worked. She married Jimmy when she was 18, and he, at 21, had just emerged from Annapolis to begin a seven-year naval career. When they returned to Plains, she kept the books for his peanut and fertilizer business, while raising four children. Throughout, her inner toughness was being strengthened...
...agree that Rosalynn's interests are dedicated in a very old-fashioned way to furthering her husband's career. It was her idea to bring in Gerald Rafshoon as a staffer in an effort to reverse the decline in the President's prestige.

He produced for the Yanks in a big way--hitting 32 homers last year, while driving in 110 runs, and batting more than 20 points above his career average of .267. And then there were the five Series homers--three in the last game, on consecutive pitches. Reggae had stolen the spotlight again, away from the man who deserved it: Martin. It was Martin, after all, who held the club together, protecting them from the blathering criticisms of the man who is the real culprit in all of this--George Steinbrenner...
