Indeed, when three of them separated from their wives, the men temporarily moved in with him: first Chief of Staff Hamilton Jordan, then Image Maker Gerald Rafshoon and finally Presidential Assistant Tim Kraft. Says Caddell with a laugh: "The President told me that I was running a halfway house for transients to and from marriage."
