JIMMY CARTER'S WHITE HOUSE DIARY

WHITE HOUSE DIARY

OF THE SELF-PROCLAIMED

BEST EX-PRESIDENT

JIMMY CARTER

AS PRESIDENT

Thirty years later, the former president has published what the New York Times calls "the edited and annotated journals of his turbulent years in office."

A page of the official Carter White House diary (see 1:30 p.m. entry) here. Interesting the number of telephone calls that were "not completed." The president did manage to connect with Speaker Tip O'Neill that day, if not on his first try.
