Vice-President Bill Rawlins - the handsome, liberal, blindly ambitious scion of a Texas oil dynasty - plans to challenge Kels in the primary, a profoundly divisive action not seen in this country scince Aaron Burr broke with Thomas Jefferson. Rawlin's ace in the hole is a Faustian deal struck with intelligince operatives of a formidable foreign power, a deal that will, he thinks, ensure his reelection.
