Zealous Lord of a Vast Domain
(3 of 3)
Watt will be a strong adversary, and even his harshest detractors consider him incorruptible. But if he is to have a chance of succeeding, Watt must build wider coalitions, reach out beyond his own supporters. His intensity is both his strength and his vulnerability. He feels he has plenty of backing. "I know the power flow," he says cockily of the Republican margin in the Senate. But what if in the process of carrying out his part of the new mandate, he misjudges the flow and gets too far out in front of Ronald Reagan? In that case Watt himself, and not the people he is determined to convert, could become the target of the President's bounty hunters. ByRobertAjemian/Washington
