...Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and, in a different sense, Easy Rider. In Butch Cassidy they really did screw up--Paul Newman and Robert Redford should have known not to rob that bank in the end. But they didn't really have a choice. The alternative was to loll around some more in that town in Bolivia and argue about who was sleeping with Katharine Ross. In the face of that, a screw up be comes the noble choice.

The President and his wife jogged and fished for barracuda (Rosalym caught a bigger one than Jimmy). But the recreational high point came when the Carters and Daughter Amy decided to try scuba diving. "Does the President know how to scuba?" asked a worried reporter. "God, I hope so," answered Press Secretary Jody Powell. In fact, Jimmy managed to stay under for a respectable 35 minutes. "Did you bring back anything...
