...Carter was given a set of Guy de Maupassant's books. He read them all. He pursued Thomas Hardy's works. As he grew he took educational side excursions like Hitler's Mein Kampfand Darwin's The Origin of Species. Carter and his wife studied a bit of art history, and of course he read much of the literature of the South, William Faulkner being a principal source. Like John Kennedy, Carter had fun along the way too. He has read with some relish, he confesses, most of the James Bond spy thrillers...
...Thompson is only the half of it. The complete Carter conspiracy, the Mein Kampf of 1976, comes clear in [MORE]'s interview with R.W. Apple Jr., The New York Times' national political correspondent. Apple filed the first "Carter is a serious candidate" story from Iowa in October 1975.

The canny diplomats of the Bundesrepublik refuse to accept it (as do the Argentines). Brown's therefore use it to pay the rent. Their landlords: The Jewish Charities of London...
...discussion of Purity of Essence ranks with the great madnesses of all time. George C. Scott's portrayal of Buck Turgidson is far better than his Patton. Best of all, Peter Sellers managed to create Henry Kissinger five years before Nelson Rockefeller did. The climactic line of the film, "Mein Fuhrer, I can walk again" comes the closest I can think of to the epitaph for the twentieth century. Sellers' other characters, Col. Mandrake, the British exchange officer, and the President, are completely on target. Kubrick's films are all good, but this is his closest approach to perfection...
