When not politicking or tending to his Georgia-based family businesses, Howard ("Bo") Callaway is happiest schussing down the slopes of his Crested Butte ski resort in Colorado. Last week, his excursion from deep powder to deep trouble as President Ford's campaign manager was complete. White House officials said Callaway soon will be permanently replaced by former Commerce Secretary Rogers Morton, a longtime Ford friend and trusted adviser...

When this fails, he adopts a last resort: holing up in a hotel where he hates the food. Vidal manifests an unembarrassed narcissism about his appearance. "When I was a little boy," he says, "I looked just like the Gores -blond and pig-nosed. But growing older, I've grown more Vidal." He cannot resist a final Roman...
