Carter was more subdued. His campaign manager, Hamilton Jordan, had told a colleague before the face-off: "If we don't win that debate, or at least hold our own, we're all through." Carter held his own, but he made no claims of victory. Later he relaxed enough to get off a crack to campaign volunteers at a Philadelphia party: "Unaccustomed as I am to speaking with a sound system that works ..."

Last week the hardy widower announced plans to marry Alice Curtis Desmond, 79, a friend of 40 years...
...said that Hamilton Jordan, Carter's national campaign director, comes from a radical New Testament background in the South. His father, Clarence Jordan, was a radical populist and Southern Baptist, who started a farm called Koinonia (the Greek New Testament word for community) in Americas, Georgia. This farm was an inter-racial co-operative group with emphasis on pacifism...
