...more serious question-why Carter felt obliged to bare more than anyone needs to know about what goes on in his mind and heart-puzzled even his supporters. So did the fact that he spent more time with Scheer, a former editor of the left-leaning Ramparts magazine (who had previously done a Playboy interview with California Governor Jerry Brown that had impressed the Carter camp) than with any other journalist. As Columnist Mary McGrory suggested, the conversation "should have been off the record with God, not one taped with Playboy...
...Editor Gerard Sherry of San Francisco's Catholic Monitor said, "I think he was trying to explain Christian ideas on promiscuity. If anything, he showed himself much less arrogant than Ford. Ford said [in a Ladies' Home Journal interview] his daughter would never have an affair. That was pretty dumb. Carter was being truthful with all due humility."

...still others, like the Atlanta Constitution and the Dallas Times-Herald, blue-penciled "screws" but ran "shacks up." Perhaps the most tortured evasion of Carter's basic English was contrived by the New York Times. The paper was offered the story at the same time as NBC, but editors held it because, as one said, "People might accuse us of trying to manipulate the campaign." When the story finally did run, the paper found all the "screws" unfit to print, reporting only that Carter had "used a vulgarism for sexual relations." That tasteful ambiguity led many readers to wonder...
