That notion has been strengthened by an improved White House staff operation that has now absorbed non-Georgians like Anne Wexler, a longtime liberal Democratic organizer. It has also been helped by Aide Gerald Rafshoon's urging that Carter rely on his own instincts to achieve a stronger image of decisiveness...
...sheer immensity of the amount may be partly to blame. Bo Cutter, the man from the Office of Management and Budget who directs the preparation of the budget, has made it a point to remind his staff repeatedly that a million dollars is a lot of money. In the hundreds-of-billions environment, a million dollars can be lost like a rolling penny heading for a sewer grate.

In Murder, a Felkeresque press lord named Walter Foster loses his empire in an unfriendly takeover. Then, worse fate, he is displaced from his regular table at Elaine...
