Carter Spokesman Jody Powell Dies At 65
Jody Powell, the White House press secretary under President Jimmy Carter, has died of an apparent heart attack. He was 65.

Powell was a familiar face during the four stormy years of the Carter presidency ? during the Israeli-Egyptian summit, the Iranian hostage crisis and Carter's 1980 campaign, first against Edward Kennedy and then Ronald Reagan.

A Georgia native known for his deep Southern drawl, he also worked on Carter's presidential campaign in 1976 and served as the Carter administration's spokesman between 1977 and 1981.

Powell, along with the late Hamilton Jordan, joined up with Carter several years before he was elected governor of Georgia in 1970. Powell served as Gov. Carter's press secretary, then, as well.
