Submariner Who Turned Commander-in-Chief
The New Indian Express Tiruchy
|December 31, 2024

And, years after his presidency ended in humbling defeat, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
The life of James Earl Carter Jr ended on Sunday at 100 where it began. Plains fueled the rise of the 39th US president, welcomed him after his fall and sustained him during 40 years of service as a global humanitarian.
With an optimism rooted in Baptist faith and an engineer's stubborn confidence, Carter showed a missionary zeal to solve problems and improve lives.
