Carter's Home Town Attracts Trickle of Tourists
Plains Georgia a town of 683 people sees a slow flow of visitors during Jimmy Carter’s emergence as a national figure. While a few tourists catch glimpses of his family and property, reporters gain a rare window into his personality as he weighs a running mate and mulls foreign policy briefings. He dismisses talk of a vice presidency, notes consults with party figures, and praises President Ford as a good man but ineffective leader.
