...traffic controller is exactly what Wexler was expected to do when she was brought into the White House nine months ago as the top-ranking woman and one of eight presidential assistants. With the Administration's popularity slipping and its programs bogged down in Congress, the relaxed Southern style of Carter's closest aides needed a strong dose of discipline and management.
