They are a very tightly-knit group, the Carter people; there are very few of them, and he is intensely loyal to them--to very few, to Hamilton, Jody; Frank [Moore] was with him in the state house in Georgia. He's clearly going to defend them at all costs. I think he feels these are unfair assaults on the part of wicked Washington, and all the people who despised him anyhow, and the people in the press, and the people on the Hill, they were ganging up on him, and by God, he'd beat them...
