Evelyn Davis was a corporate gadfly. Often causing chaos at shareholder annual meetings. She berated Lee Iacocca by saying he needed to lose weight.
After Carter's 1976 election as president, Powell was described as a member of the "Georgia Mafia", a group of close aides from Georgia who moved to high positions in the Carter administration, but who were inexperienced in national politics. Powell and Carter's chief of staff Hamilton Jordan appeared in 1977 as caricatures on the cover of Time in 1977 and were pictured on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine, where they were dubbed Carter's "whiz kids". Powell served as White House press secretary for Carter's entire term as president.
In this memoir Powell discussed his leak to the Associated Press of the Jimmy Carter rabbit incident, Carter's 1979 encounter with a swamp rabbit, that "was intent on climbing into the Presidential boat".
