White House Aide Hamilton Jordan demonstrated concern early in the Administration about the problem of Jimmy Carter's isolation. According to Los Angeles Times Reporter Robert Shogan's new book Promises to Keep, Jordan, in a memo to Carter last March, noted that his advisers from down home tended to try to guess what he wanted to hear instead of giving him frank, sometimes critical analyses.

...Hamilton Jordan and Jody Powell and the rest of the Georgia Mafia may have been great campaign aides, but they are not experienced in power. Perhaps Carter should enlarge and enrich his staff and get people who know how this city runs.

...Wilbur Theater, Edward Gorey '50, a writer/illustrator noted for his macabre wit, and Dennis Rosa, an Obie award winning director, have resurrected "Dracula," a 1927 play by Hamilton Deane and John Balderston. It is no occasion for hallelujahs, though. Dracula should be great on stage, with immediate, uncelluloid flesh and blood primed for the mauling. But the evening at the Wilbur is anemic...
