...territorial meetings that were open to the public; 400 more had been appointed at large by an overseeing national commission. They were white, black, yellow, Hispanic and Indian-and four were Eskimo. They were rich, poor, radical, conservative, Democratic, Republican and politically noninvolved. Three Presidents' wives were guests: Rosalynn Carter, Betty Ford and Lady Bird Johnson. (Jackie Onassis turned down an invitation; Pat Nixon was ill.) By the end of the Houston conference, the women's movement had armed itself with a 25-point, revised National Plan of Action. By convincing majorities, the delegates called for passage...
...seemed less awed by the transformation than Carter himself. With Rosalynn and nine-year-old Amy in tow, he strolled like a tourist up the driveway to his new home. "Where do I live?" he asked White House Chief Usher Rex Scouten. Scouten promptly led the family upstairs to the quarters that had only that morning been vacated by the Fords...
...cost of bodyguards for ex-Presidents and their families has swelled from a first-year expense of $49,507 in 1964 to more than $12 million this year.

He succinctly says what he thinks of their two presidencies, then decides he does not want it printed. But the judgment reflects his conviction that "we normally elect a President and then we find out about him after. That...
...pharaonic frieze at Luxor. Except, of course, that typical tourists do not have the Nile searched for explosives beforehand; neither do they lunch with Jehan Sadat, widow of Anwar, nor get together with President Hosni Mubarak. Visiting Egypt on a swing through the Middle East, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter were reminded often of the 1978 Camp David accords. Strolling through a Cairo bazaar, he was greeted with shouts of "Welcome, Mr. Peace Man!" Mused Carter: "I could do very well in an election in Egypt." But not necessarily everywhere else: as the Carters toured Jerusalem later in the week, more...
