A Nelson Rockefeller era style purge of ideology shows through in Reagan transition hiring. J Stanley Pottinger tops the subcabinet list despite a record at odds with Reagan aims while David Gergen circles a White House deputy post and Lukens is passed over for lack of experience. Penn James leads the operation, stressing resumes over past allegiance.

The note recalls 1977 sore jaw improved by cortisone and asserts Reagan faced campaign stress without illness. It praises daily calisthenics and jokes about hair. It speculates on cabinet picks and suggests a cartoon of a lifeguard on duty at the White House.
The piece discusses possible U S and Soviet plans to partition Iran into zones of influence amid the hostage crisis.
