...Library Club, a social club for Harvard library employees, held a cookout on the land in early October...
...with just a few hundred intimate friends and reporters. Jimmy Carter invited more than 100 kinsmen, journalists and neighbors to a back-country fish fry at his mother's Scandinavian-modern house in the dark slash-pine woods near his peanut fields in sweltering Plains, Ga. The homey cookout was called partly to ease an ecological imbalance in the family pond.
