...thought "Jimmy's Mixed Signals" [Oct. 4] excellently focused on the things that intrigue me the most about Jimmy Carter. He is facile and clever, awkward and honest. He is at once an amazingly capable politician and a man who says the most revealing unpolitician-like things about lust...

As for good ole Merle, he becomes a "born-again" politician. Also tripping into view will be a Miss Tippytoes, a glamorous CB radio freak who Mary thinks has a handle on her husband Tom. Then there is Gore Vidal, who visits Fernwood to see if there is a book in the larger meaning of Mary's breakdown. Says Norman...
