Carter seldom wavered from Jordan's plans. Ever since, Jordan has been the President's top political strategist, and this month was officially named White House Chief of Staff?even though critics claim Jordan embodied some of the Administration's most serious managerial flaws. Jordan has a swift, conceptual mind, reads political moods and trends skillfully, and although he is personally disorganized is highly imaginative. Jordan looks...
