Carter is giving no hints as to whether he will return the compliment by re-appointing Burns when his four-year term as chairman expires in two months. The White House staff is virtually unanimous in wanting Burns to go; Democratic Party leaders are just as insistent. But Carter knows that his freedom of choice is limited if he does not want to shake business psychology. Even if he chose to dump Burns, he most likely would pick not a liberal but a moderate or conservative to administer the nation's supply of cash and credit. Among the choices...
Whatever share of the blame Moore deserves, he is in no apparent danger of losing his job. He has known Carter longer than anyone else on the White House staff. They first met in the early 1960s and worked together in 1966 on a Georgia planning commission. Moore, 42, joined Carter's gubernatorial staff in 1970 and in 1972 replaced Hamilton Jordan as Carter's executive secretary and legislative liaison when Jordan went to work for the Democratic National Committee in Washington...
...Capitol. Administrative duties in the White House have allowed him only two or three personal visits a week to the Hill. "I like to hang around up there," he says gamely.

With Cable's assistance, better coordination within the White House and a bit more on-the-job training, Carter...

Washington's Social List wanted to make it James Earl, but an alarmed member of Mrs. Carter's staff called up and said, "Absolutely not." It now reads, on page 120, "Carter, The President of the United States, and Mrs. Jimmy." The British Broadcasting Corp. had a policy meeting on the Jimmy issue. In broadcasting, particularly British broadcasting, Christian names stand like the Tower of London. But the BBC retreated...
...stickers are starting to appear, and critics are complaining about "Raydiation." Her decline in esteem is due in part to the fact that Ray has turned out to be something of an autocrat, who insists on loyalty at every level. One of her first acts was to replace the staff at the Governor's mansion, including some servants who had been there for years. Her aides, says one fellow Democrat, "aren't just yes people. They're yes-yes-yes people. She intimidates all of them." Her audiences are no longer composed of students, but she treats them like students...
