Last week the younger Carter, accompanied by Wife Sybil, checked out of an Americus, Ga., hospital and flew to California to dry out at the Alcohol Rehabilitation Service of the Long Beach I Naval Regional Medical Center. Carter, who has admitted guzzling two dozen beers a day, will undergo six weeks of group therapy and psychodrama in order to learn how to deal with his drinking problem. Betty Ford and Billy...
