About two hours later, the Carters left the old life for good. With Amy cradling her cat, Misty Malarkey Ying Yang, and Jimmy carrying his own bags as usual, they boarded a chartered airliner at Albany, Ga. Carter told newsmen, "I think I'm ready now to be President. If I can stay close to the people of this country and not disappoint them, I think I have a chance to be a great President, but it still remains to be seen...
...world record for 1,500 meters. Possible too was similar action by other black African countries. One week to the day before the Olympic torch was to be borne into Montreal's stunning $700 million stadium, the Games seemed to teeter on the brink of breakup. C.K.
