...while visions of high-heeled nudes out of Penthouse dance in his head. He looks back longingly to his days as a fighter pilot in Viet Nam: "The only glory I see is the glory I saw as a jet fighter." Ray is, in short, an extremely bad good ole...
...mostly unruffled dignity and hospitality. But after a few patently successful attempts at informal mass communication-the telephone call-ins, the fireside chat in cardigan sweater-Jimmy retreated into his "nuclear" engineer's privacy, screened by a Georgia Mafia who lacked even the abrasive charm of basic good ole boys or the Kennedys' strident boyos.
