With the exception of Bert Lance, none of the Georgia political chums Jimmy Carter brought with him to Washington has found himself the subject of more attention, flattering or otherwise, than Hamilton Jordan, the young (33), feet-up presidential pal and political strategist who is the White House's closest equivalent to a chief of staff.

Esquire's national affairs editor Richard Reeves, who wrote one of the earliest profiles of Brown back in 1975 in which he characterized him as "the most interesting politician in the U.S..," has a long piece on Brown in last month's issue. Reeves argues that a Brown candidacy...
