...CAMPAIGN. Carter's most effective moment may have been his frank admission that he had made mistakes in the long campaign ("This is part of just being a human being"), particularly his Playboy interview. He ticked off other notables who had been interviewed by Playboy (Treasury Secretary William Simon, Walter Cronkite and Albert Schweitzer) but conceded, "They weren't running for President." He now knows, he said, that he should not have granted the interview. Then he vowed that his campaign would not get personal in its final days, but predicted that Ford's would. Ford admitted...

Among them: a Soviet soldier...
...York Daily News's Gerald Nachman jests that Carter has also given an interview to Penthouse, admitting that the candidate "not only coveted his neighbor's wife but also his house, his servant, his ass and his ox," and that he took the Lord's name in vain four times while in the Navy. "Well, nobody's perfect," Nachman imagines Carter explaining, "but sometimes I come pretty doggone close." Chicago Daily News Columnist Mike Royko has an admission of his own about hust on the lustings: "I, too, have looked at women with lust. While wearing...
