Quick Take
I was in charge of Carter’ policy on non-proliferation of nuclear weapons from 1977-1979. He was not always easy to work for, but he showed real commitment to the issue when it counted. As I summed him up in my recent memoir A Life in the American Century, “ people often say that Jimmy Carter was a better ex-president than president , and that may be true. But if Carter’s foreign policy were a stock, we might predict its price among historians to rise over time.”
