HAMILTON JORDAN, 63

Political whiz kid from the 1970s who helped push Jimmy Carter into the White House. Last name pronounced "JUR-den." The Associated Press reports Jordan died of cancer. It happened Tuesday night.

In his memoir, No Such Thing as a Bad Day, Jordan discussed living through three bouts with cancer before he was 50.

A Friday memorial service is planned at the Carter Center in Atlanta.
