...excitement, the media cynicism, the physical groanings-at-the-seams, one could strike off alone and explore the town and countryside, finding the various unadorned sites of Jimmy's life and early work. A polite visitor with an anxiety-dispelling Southern accent could even find and talk at relaxed length with members of the presidential family. In a three-day visit-during Christmas rush at that-I had cordial and substantial meetings with Alton Carter (Jimmy's uncle and keeper of the family tales, possessed of an excellent narrative tongue and the sweet will to use it); Gloria...
...visitor, however sympathetic, is prone to feel that the hope is deluded. The stripped-down Protestant faith of the townsmen should have readied them for that. Where two or three are gathered together, there first of all is Satan: pride of self, envy, greed. While it seems a near certainty that Plains' magnetism for tourists will diminish (when I was there, I saw a mere 300 a day-lots of parking, no crush), it also seems certain that the green crossroads and its 600 souls can never lapse into pre-Carter life.

...first episode, and the only one shown out of sequence, is the most renowned of the missing hours-Lady Marjorie's affair. James brings home an army friend, Captain Hammond (David Kernan), and Lady Marjorie and the visitor learn, over the inevitable tea in the morning room, that they share a love of opera.

...boycott has become one of the most effective pressures so far in the drive to get the amendment passed. Missouri and Nevada are suing NOW on grounds that the boycott is an illegal restraint of trade. Says Eugene Hosmer, president of the 134-city International Association of Convention and Visitor Bureaus: "Business itself is not affected?it just goes somewhere else?but for some cities, the effect has been substantial." Laments Warren Ericksen, executive director of the Miami Beach Convention Bureau: "We get two letters a week from national organizations telling us 'no way' can they consider holding their meeting...
Protesting university students, 100 strong, hurled eggs, bottles and epithets at the black limousine. British bobbies and U.S. Secret Service men punched, kicked and wrestled with demonstrators as the visitor scurried inside the Oxford Union Society hall. There, before a vastly more appreciative audience, Richard M. Nixon told 800 guests of Oxford University's prestigious debating society that the crowd outside made him feel "very much at home" and that "I have retired from politics, but I have not retired from life." Nixon addressed the society near the end of a week-long trip to France and England...
