...most likely candidate is White House Counsel Robert Lipshutz, who at 55 is the Methuselah of the West Wing. With a calm and deliberate manner -sharply different from the laid-back informality of the other Georgians-he presides at the daily 8 a.m. senior staff meetings and mediates when other aides differ. Before going to Washington, he was a highly successful lawyer and a pillar of Atlanta's Jewish community. He began advising Carter in 1966 and served as his campaign treasurer...

He will preside over the morning staff meetings...
...cause for much outrage. Since 1867, Atlanta's Jews have had their own Standard Club, which admitted its first gentile member only last September. In fact, Atlanta's Big Mules could take some comfort from the fact that one of Standard's members, Lawyer Robert Lipshutz, plans to resign his membership as soon as Carter names him White House counsel...
