Carter aide theft a bemusing incident amid campaign chaos
The burglary at the Fifth Avenue headquarters of former Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter saw campaign chiefs in New York puzzled more than angry. A briefcase with telephone poll results and plans for New York primary outreach was menaced, about 20 postage stamps stolen, yet typewriters untouched. Campaign chair William van den Heuvel and coordinator Chris Ellison framed it as a trivial disruption, with Ellison noting the open nature of the campaign. In the same broad sweep, art auctions and international news items followed, including Lord Lucan’s silver sale to pay gambling debts and Tito discussing Yugoslavia’s political prisoners in a Stockholm TV interview.
