Carter's country cousins kick up their heels
Washington's subfreezing cold did not dampen jubilant Democrats at seven Inaugural parties for Jimmy Carter. Attendees paid 25 dollars per head for drinks and dancing to country reels and square dances featuring Rosalynn Carter and Amy. Other events drew conservatives with 17.50 tickets and a Ball for the Unrepresented Majority. Iowa farmers also held revelries with the Duke Ellington Orchestra at 30 dollars a head, drinks free.
