...rare insights occasionally come through serendipity, they also result from initiative and melting into Carter's inner circle. National Political Correspondent Robert Ajemian has just spent a week traveling with Carter's chief political adviser, Hamilton Jordan, as he masterminded the preparation of background material and interviews for his boss. "He makes endless calls-to the low and the mighty," says Ajemian. "But any call from Jordan these days is a call from the bull's-eye of power." What Ajemian learned in the bull's-eye-as well as the latest gleanings of other TIME...
HALSMAN: When I came to this country, magazine covers were mostly of famous personalities. They were either snapshots or self-consciously posed photographs. I was told very often that one could immediately recognize my photographs because in contrast to others they were not superficial but showed a kind of inner depth. It seems to me that this was my major contribution because if I look at today's covers and portraits, I see more and more photographs which are attempts to capture the character of the subject...
Neither Stewart nor Margulis was a member of the ultrasecret inner circle of so-called executive assistants. These six men, five of them Mormons, kept a 24-hour-a-day watch over Hughes and screened all his communications.

They were on the perimeter of the inner...

Holmes worked in Southern California as a salesman for a tobacco company before he signed on as Hughes' personal driver in the early 1950s. He joined the inner circle in 1957, and is now one of Summa Corp.'s five directors. Tense, quiet and politically conservative, Holmes is said to have been a very heavy coffee drinker and a chain-smoker-but never in Hughes' presence...
Norma, his fantasy object, affects the accent of the Viennese doctor in Lugosi's Dracula as she discusses the "inner cheese of life." Just as self-consciousness leads Norma to make a joke out of the "energies of life," this whole book concerns Muldoon's discovery that the voice often masks the subject; action similarly disguises reality. Muldoon is aware that "unseen and mysterious forces" propel him. He recognizes that the Light--wisdom or maybe just balance--drawing him beyond the everyday world is as inevitable as the lure of the apple to Adam...
