Then Carter added characteristi cally, “If I decide to run, I don’t in tend to lose.” But he said it is dif ficult for a president to serve two terms because “he becomes the per sonification of problems. ” Speaking of the presidency, Car ter said, “There have been no seri ous disappointments on my part.” But he added, “There were two things that had been unpleasant surprises. One was the inertia of Congress, the length of time it takes to get a complicated piece of legisla tion through the Congress, and the other was the irresponsibility of the press. ” He said quite often news reports have been inaccurate “when I think a simple checking of the facts could have prevented a serious distortion of the facts, and also there is a sense of doubt or even cynicism about the government and about programs or proposals.” One of the false reports in the press, he said, was that he keeps a personal log of who can use the White House tennis courts. Carter said he did not think his goals had changed very much since he began thinking about running for president. “The simplest decisions that I have to make,” Carter said, “are the ones I know least, that the more you know about a subject, all the com plexities on both sides, the detailed, intricate arguments, the more dif ficult it is to make a decision.” Disputing the historical com plaints of his predecessors, Carter denied the presidency was “splen did misery” and said he had not been miserable on the job. i Listen UpA| I Ag’s o The Class of ’79 is £ ^ sponsoring Christmas I ^ card sales from Wed.

Washington’s view of Cuban intervention in Africa dpparehtly, had cooled a relationship that ap peared to be improving in Sep tember 1977 when Castro and the U.S. exchanged diplomatic interest sections.
