...television answering a lot of questions about the magazine articles in which his wife Joan admitted that she had long been an alcoholic. Politically, he seized every opportunity. After Timothy Hagan, 32, was elected chairman of Ohio's vote-heavy Cuyahoga County, Kennedy's staff immediately invited the new leader to stop by. When Hagan wondered if the Senator might possibly be keynote speaker at the state's largest political gathering in October, he was startled at how quickly Kennedy said yes. Old campaign friends who had not heard from the Senator for some time have begun...
...Jimmy Carter emerging -tougher, demanding more of his staff, focusing more sharply on issues? Some recent evidence suggests that there is, despite the polls indicating that the public widely regards him as a weak leader. He acted unusually quickly to obtain the resignation of Adviser Peter Bourne when he became an embarrassment to the White House. He dramatically asserted presidential control over the scandal-tinged General Services Administration. And he has imposed a tighter rein on Cabinet officials...
Much of the credit (or blame) for this new Carter image belongs to Gerald Rafshoon, 44, the well-tailored, curly-haired, New York-born adman who has worked in every Carter campaign since 1966. After unofficially advising Carter since the Inauguration, he joined the White House's senior staff in July. As the $56,000-a-year Assistant to the President for Communications, Rafshoon has the job of improving the public's perception of his boss. He follows in the footsteps of such presidential image burnishers as Truman's Leonard Reinsch, Eisenhower's James Hagerty...

Ambassador Andrew Young thoughtlessly equated U.S. treatment of civil rights activists with the Soviet Union's persecution of its dissidents, he was openly reprimanded by Carter. Similarly, in the wake of the Bourne episode, the President sternly lectured his staff that they would be fired if they broke the law by smoking marijuana or sniffing cocaine. Rafshoon has told Carter, who tends to be extremely loyal to his staff, that it is unwise to keep aides who are not performing well...
...Connally's recent attack on the establishment of the Summer Times as a newspaper for the children at the Summer School to put out. Just who does this Mr. Connally think he is? His vituperation and bile are, I believe, unsurpassed by those of anyone else on your staff--Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney indeed!!! I thought the new paper was a wonderful effort, and that Mr. Connoly's obviously envious criticisms were just plain mean. How would Mr. Connally like it if Punch Sulzberger was to write in The N.Y. Times about how shoddy and leftist a newspaper...
