There are many other influential people around the President, of course, such as Secretary of Defense Harold Brown, White House Counsel Lloyd Cutler and Pollster Patrick Caddell. But for the final balancing of major policy decisions, there is no higher or more potent tribunal than the President and those five original Georgians. One day when Carter was chairing a National Security Council meeting on Iran, and he had been hesitant on some of the options laid before him, he excused himself...

He cooled the uproar over his brother Billy with an impressive full-hour prime-time press conference and with a 99-page report to a Senate investigating subcommittee.

Thanks to new campaign financing laws, their money is not in great demand, but the endless effort of suburban housewives, the station wagons to get people to the polls, the send-me-anywhere usefulness of college...
...last season's final episode, six characters voiced threats against J.R.: Sue Ellen, whom J.R. was about to commit to a sanitarium; Kristin Shepard (Mary Crosby), Sue Ellen's vixen sister, who had bedded and then blackmailed J.R. only to be charged with prostitution; Alan Beam (Randolph Powell), an unscrupulous lawyer whom J.R. used and then threatened with a bogus rape indictment; Vaughn Leland (Dennis Patrick), J.R.'s banker, who was ruined when he bought into a Ewing double-deal; Bobby Ewing, whom J.R.'s dastardly business ethics finally drove from Southfork; and Cliff Barnes...
