“Jim Baker, man of the sterling reputation, has come to represent a Washington ideal. A competitor, in a city whose weightiest transactions are commonly described as a game; a gentleman, in an establishment whose highest value is that antagonists be able to drink together after 6 p.m.; a corporate lawyer, in a culture that reserves its harshest punishments for the incautious, he has much to tell us about Washington's values.”
