A highly organized and disciplined manager, Baker is expected to quickly shape up the White House and campaign staffs, which have piled up "counselors to the President" and "senior strategists" like layers...
...watched video tapes of past confirmation hearing performances, both successful (the lachrymose, unspecific David H. Souter) and disastrous (the fiery, defensive Robert H. Bork). He's read mountains of transcripts of the hearings. Former White House adviser Kenneth M. Duberstein and Quayle Chief of Staff William Kristol '73 even have him preparing a wardrobe...
