LETTERS, Page 6Stepping-Stone to Greatness
Thank you for the report on the activities of Jimmy Carter
(PROFILE, Sept. 11), and thanks to Carter for reaffirming my faith
in his abilities as a world leader. Obviously, the presidency was
not Carter's major role but a necessary stepping-stone to a greater
and more important one: that of humanitarian!

Former President Carter had his chance and blew it. He should
stop interfering in foreign countries, stay off rooftops and quit
wasting taxpayer money by dragging his Secret Service entourage on
worldwide travels.
Floyd C. Anderson

To say Carter is perhaps "the best former President America
has ever had" may be going too far. That accolade should rightly
go to John Quincy Adams. After leaving the White House in 1829,
Adams served with distinction for 17 years in the U.S. House of
Representatives. There he skillfully campaigned against slavery and
the Mexican War, controversial positions at the time. His courage
to do right never wavered, and when he was finally stricken on the
floor of the House at the age of 80, no one else in either house
of Congress had earned as much respect and admiration.

Your information on our ex-Chief was no surprise to me, but it
was a reminder. That old feeling of guilt emerged again because I
permitted Reagan to mesmerize me and my pocketbook. Carter reminds
me of Abraham Lincoln.
